New Delhi: Days after A.G. Perarivalan, one of the convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, was granted bail, another convict Nalini Sriharan has moved the Madras high court for bail, The News Minute has reported.On Monday, March 21, Sriharan moved sub-application for bail in addition to her writ petition from 2020 seeking bail with immediate effect. Back then, she had appealed to the court not to wait until the governor gave consent to a 2018 recommendation of the Tamil Nadu government to release all the convicts in the case.In her sub-application, Sriharan represented to the Madras high court that the Supreme Court had granted bail to Perarivalan considering the fact that he had spent more than 32 years in prison. She said the same was the case with her as she too had spent more than three decades in imprisonment and was entitled to bail.Also read: After 32 Years in Jail, SC Grants Bail to Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Convict PerarivalanIn May 2021, after assuming office, Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin had written to President Ramnath Kovind to remit the life sentence of the seven convicts in the case and to direct for their immediate release. Stalin had told the President that most of the political parties in the state had been requesting for the remission of the remaining of their sentence and for the immediate release of convicts.Sriharan, along with four others – her husband Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan – were awarded death sentences while the other three were sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with the case. In 2014, the apex court commuted the death sentences of the four convicts, including Perarivalan, to life citing delays in deciding on their mercy pleas.As for Perarivalan’s bail was concerned, the Supreme Court on March 9 said, “Taking into account the fact that the applicant has spent over 30 years in prison, we are of the considered view that he is entitled to be released on bail, in spite of the vehement opposition by the Union government.”The seven convicts are Nalini Sriharan, Murugan, Shanthan, A.G. Perarivalan, Jayakumar, Robert Payas and P. Ravichandran.Former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated on the night of May 21, 1991, at Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu by a woman suicide bomber, identified as Dhanu, at a poll rally. Fourteen others, including Dhanu herself, were also killed.
