A money laundering case has been registered against a woman from Sri Lanka. Investigations are underway. Letchumanan Mary Francisca, a Sri Lankan citizen, arrived in India on a tourist visa in December 2019. However, the investigation agencies allege that her actual intention was to obtain identity cards using forged documents in India and withdraw money from inactive bank accounts. These funds were intended to be used to revive the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) organization. The LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers, is a banned terrorist organization in Sri Lanka. Francisca was apprehended at the Chennai airport on October 2, 2021, and has been in jail since. Initially, she was charged with overstaying her visa and creating a fake passport.
