Underworld gangs have emerged sometime after the end of the war in 2009.
At least six underworld gangs including ‘Aava’ are operational in the north, intelligence officials have revealed. It is believed that the Tamil films from Tamil Nadu also had an effect on the creation of such gangs.
These gangs were led by Nimalan, Jude, Sanna, Dillu , Falil and Vinodan.
The latter is in now in remand custody in connection with a sword attack on a person. He said to be leading the ‘Aava’ gang.
