Was Pottu Amman Alive?

Was Pottu Amman Alive?

The most reliable source which proved that Pottu Amman died along with Prabhakaran was the interview given by Sea Tiger Chief

Soosai's wife.

Sea tigers chief Soosai's wife and children tried to escape to India on 14th May 2009 but within few minutes their boat was captured.Earlier they were considered as civilians but when they reach camp they were identified by already surrendered LTTE cadres. Soon Army took them under custody.

She told(public interview) that when she left the LTTE controlled area her husband Soosai, Pottu Amman, Prabhakaran and his family were still present there and were alive. Within few days army crushed that small area and killed most people. So there was not even a small chance that he might escaped within such small time. At that time Sri Lankan and Indian Navy(near Indian waters) were involved in heavy patrolling along those coastal areas. So virtually there was no chance to escape for him.

But she also made it clear that she didn't saw Prabhakaran or his family but knew that they were there. She even didn't see Amman there. So there is no concrete evidence that he was present there

Pottu Amman body was not found raising speculations that he must have escaped before the final battle.

But facts show that he was with Prabhakaran until the previous night.

It was speculated he must have betrayed Prabhakaran into a trap and bought his life .(Please read my Bleeding Island through Partridge Publications).

Many LTTE leaders were caught alive, confined secretly and disappeared later.

Pottu Amman could have been one.
