Nalini Sriharan and five more convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case have been freed by the Supreme Court after 32 years in jail. In May, the Supreme Court had used its extraordinary powers under Article 142 of the Constitution to free a seventh convict, Perarivalan. The same order applied to the rest of the convicts today. The court also noted that the Tamil Nadu cabinet had recommended to the Governor in 2018 that the convicts be set free, and the Governor was bound by it. Besides Nalini, the others jailed for the 1991 assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi were Sriharan, Santhan, Murugan, Robert Payas, and RP Ravichandran. The Supreme Court said the convicts had showed satisfactory behaviour, acquired degrees, written books, and had also participated in social service.
