Adilingam had also acted as an agent for the collection of hawala money obtained from the sale of narcotic drugs, that were being further distributed to promote Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) activities, the NIA alleged in the charge sheet. The charge sheet was filed in the Special Court for NIA Cases at Poonamallee in Chennai.
In the charge sheet, the NIA also reveals that the accused was employed as a production executive in the Tamil film industry while clandestinely working as a key operative of major LTTE leaders and cadres and drug traffickers, including Gunasekaran and his son Thilipan -both citizens of Sri Lanka.
On June 15, 2023, the NIA had filed a charge sheet before the special court against 13 accused, charging them with hatching conspiracies in various parts of Tamil Nadu to carry out terror activities and drug trafficking in the territorial waters of the Indian Ocean.
One such case was registered and investigated by the NIA’s Kochi branch, following the seizure of a huge consignment of drugs and weapons by Indian agencies in 2021. The consignment included more than 300 kilogrammes of heroin, five AK-47 rifles and 1,000 rounds of Pakistan-made ammunition.
