Chennai, Dec 10: The Tamil Nadu police today refuted
media reports about possible intrusion of LTTE cadres in the
state following the discovery of some boats with bullet marks
along the Rameswaram coast recently.
Superintendent of Police, Ramanathapuram said 'thorough
investigation' had revealed that six boats had been recently
washed ashore, of which three had bullet marks.
"A thorough investigation conducted along with the sister
agencies revealed that the boats had apparently drifted from
Sri Lanka due to the recent cyclone. They were not being used
for any activity subversive to the nation's security, as
reported in certain sections of the media," he said in a
statement here.
On Dec 5 boats with some bearing bullet marks and blood
stains were found drifting to the Tamil Nadu coast.
