DefenceWire has reliably learnt that the arrest of Kumaran Pathmanathan alias 'K.P.' was denied by Thai authorities since releasing information regarding his arrest was threatening to hamper further investigations. Sources also indicate that steps are well under-way to ensure his deportation to Sri Lanka. India's Central Bureau of Investigation has also inquired about K.P.'s arrest, which Thailand had officially denied for the same reasons. Meanwhile several pro-LTTE sources claimed that K.P. was living 'safe and sound' in a village in Kilinochchi after having retired from the 'K.P. Department' several years ago and that when told about his arrest 'K.P.' had laughed aloud.
