Responding to Nedumaran's claims, Tamil Nadu Congress chief KS Alagiri said he will be happy to see LTTE chief Prabhakaran, who is believed to be dead. 

Prabhakaran is believed to have been killed by Lankan forces on May 18, 2009, during the last phase of the civil war in Sri Lanka. His death was confirmed only after the Sri Lankan Army released pictures of a "deceased Prabhakaran" in 2009. His body was said to have been found in the forest of northern Sri Lanka at Mullivayakal.

After the images were released, Prabhakaran's body was identified by his former lieutenant and rebel LTTE leader Karuna Amman, who later became a minister in Mahinda Rajapaksa's cabinet after laying down guns.
