The National Investigation Agency (NIA) carried out a series of raids across Tamil Nadu (TN) in an LTTE-inspired arms seizure case on Friday.
Raids were conducted by the NIA teams at the premises belonging to suspects in the RC-33/2022/NIA/DLI (Omalur PS Arms Case) in Chennai, Trichy, Coimbatore, Sivaganga and Tenkasi.
The places raided also included those of NTK functionary and YouTuber Saatai Duraimurugan and others.
Extensive searches by the agency led to the seizure of one laptop, 7 mobiles, 8 SIM/memory cards, and 4 pen drives, along with incriminating documents and books related to the LTTE terror organisation and its self-styled slain supremo, Prabhakaran.
The case was originally registered by TN Police following the apprehension of two men, identified as Naveen Chakravorty and Sanjay Prakash, during vehicle checking at Puliyampatti division, Salem, on May 19, 2022.
They were arrested after being found in possession of two Pistols, ammunition, gunpowder, etc.
Investigations revealed that the duo was inspired by the LTTE, a proscribed terrorist organization. They wanted to establish an outfit similar to the LTTE and wage an armed struggle in Tamil Nadu. Subsequently, one more accused person, namely Kabilar from Kabilan, was also arrested in this case.
The case was taken over by the NIA on July 25, 2022, and investigations are continuing.
