Lankan troops recovered the birth certificate, horoscope and albums of Prabhakaran in Pudukudiyirippu, which was captured earlier this month.
During searches, troops of the 53 division unearthed vital documents, including the birth certificate, horoscopes and albums of the LTTE leader and his family.
Prabhakaran had reportedly buried these documents before he fled from his residence in Pudukudiyiruppu east and the troops of 53 and 58 divisions encircled the rebels in a one square kilometre area, which was also subsequently brought under army control.
