Prabhakaran’s Brother Exposes Tamil Diaspora Scam

Velupillai Manoharan, the brother of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, has publicly confirmed that Prabhakaran and his family died in 2009. Manoharan warns of a scam by some Tamil diaspora members claiming the Prabhakaran family is alive. This scam has defrauded many Tamils and needs to be stopped.

Velupillai Manoharan, brother of the slain LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, has for the first time confirmed publicly that his brother and his entire family perished in the final stages of Sri Lanka's civil war in 2009. "Velupillai Prabhakaran, his wife, and their three children are dead, all of them dying in the war's final phases," Manoharan stated, as reported by LankaFT (ft.lk).

LTTE, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, fought for nearly three decades for a separate Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka before collapsing in May 2009 when the Sri Lankan Army killed Prabhakaran. Local media outlets like ft.lk, thefederal.lk, and dailymirror.lk have quoted an interview with Manoharan in Jaffna's Monitor magazine, where he now resides in Denmark.

According to Manoharan, a massive scam by a segment of the Tamil diaspora is deceiving people by claiming that Prabhakaran and some of his family members are still alive. "As Prabhakaran's elder brother, I felt it was my responsibility to end this nonsense," said Manoharan. He also highlighted false rumors perpetuated by a young Tamil woman in the West claiming to be Prabhakaran's daughter Thuvaraga (Dwarka), which have defrauded the diaspora out of millions of dollars.
