Elusive Tiger chief V Prabhakaran, who has lost almost all the rebel territory and his key aides in the war with Sri Lankan troops, is unlikely to surrender as it may pave the way for his extradition to India to face charges in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, a media report said on Wednesday.

"Surely he will not commit suicide" as he is a billionaire and would want to live longer, nor will he surrender "as it would open the way for India to seek his extradition for the killing of (former Prime Minister) Rajiv Gandhi," military sources were quoted as saying by the 'Bottom Line' newspaper.
