Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Convict Walks Free: Will This Pave The Way For Release Of Other 6?
AG Perarivalan, one of the convicts in former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, was released today, after the intervention of the Supreme Court which invoked its special powers. The verdict could pave the way for the release of other six convicts in the case, including Nalini Sriharan. The Congress has expressed pain and disappointment, and attacked the government for creating what it called "a situation" in the court.
