Why has Pottu Amman’s name been included in "Wanted" persons list of Interpol?

Even today, the names of Pottu Amman and two others linked with him have been posted under red notice in the ‘wanted list’ of Interpol website. If Pottu Amman is dead, there is no reason for his name being published in the ‘wanted list’ in the Interpol website. His name has been included in the Interpol ‘red notice’ list last December.

Does this mean that, though the Sri Lanka (SL) government earlier concluded that he was dead, by last December there were clues to impel the government to change its view? According to government sources , Pottu Amman’s name is in the Interpol list because his death certificate was not issued. Previously, the Sri Lankan government declared that Pottu Amman also died at the time Prabhakaran was killed. However, Pottu Amman’s body was not recovered though the government was able to discover the bodies of Prabhakaran and the other Tamil Tiger leaders who died.

The government on the other hand said, Pottu Amman’s body could not be recovered because he committed suicide by setting fire to himself ; therefore, even his ashes could not be discovered. It was also the governments’s view that his wife too committed suicide with him. When the Indian government asked from the Sri Lankan government for the death certificates of Prabhakaran and Pottu Amman to conclude the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, the Sri Lankan Govt. confirmed that both had died.
