Kalyanasundaram, who is now settled in Chennai, denies ever having been contacted by Sivarasan or anyone related to him.
K. Ragothaman, the CBI's chief investigator in the case, says the LTTE had got his contact details from Kalyanasundaram's uncle, Jagadeesan, a retired armyman who ran a rice mill in Thopputhurai. "It was a lead that the LTTE never followed up."
Mani Shankar Aiyar, when contacted by India Today, denied any knowledge of the existence of such a plan and dismissed it outright.
