LTTE Sri Lankan Tamil Elam Tigers  were fighting for a separate state inside Sri Lanka because their population was very large. Many of them took to weapons for the fight. Sri Lankan administration tried to kill them by using their army.

Rajiv Gandhi sent Indian Peace Keeping Force to control and monitor the LTTE in Sri Lanka. Perhaps thi IPKF did kill many Elam Tigers and committed atrocities on them.  So LTTE leader Prabhakaran developed grudge on Rajiv Gandhi.
 
All Tamil tigers were expecting Indian government to pressurize Sri Lanka and support them in support of a separate state. As the reverse happened, they vowed to kill him. Finally a suicide bomber lady killed him with a belt bomb at night during a political meeting. It was on 21st May, 1991 at Sriperumbudur town in Tamilnadu.
