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.

happens only in India. Great 🙏.
*A big leader for BJP may emerge 💐🙄

[rahamanmrk]

Imagine if he was Muslim?

Shame on the government . . . .

Next MLA or MP candidate and BJP member . . .👏👏👏👏

[noorzam]

Just for their political gains be it state or central government, they have freed the murderers of our late PM...
If the murderer of late PM can get free from the crime which they have done, then just imagine the situation of normal citizen of india, that's why in most of the murder cases the culprit gets bail and roams around freely....
This leaves a ?? Mark on our judiciary system also...

[AS-bspp]

Actually he is not a criminal. He don't even know why he asked to buy batteries for. The convicts of Mahathma Gandhi freed after 16 years then why not they??

[anitaferns]

How disgusting, how can a person be free for killing our beloved late prime minister Mr Rajeev Gandhi. He / they also should have been hanged long ago And if a Sri Lankan was responsible for this brutal act, I was not in the country then, but my heart cried for our young leader who had a bright vision for our country, he was the one who brought in the computer age so quickly . And if a Sri Lankan was responsible for this brutal act what Sri Lanka is going through difficult times they deserve it. Why should our country support them with food grains and other items, we have our own poor who hardly can afford a meal a day . Our prime minister Mr Narendra Modi may not be knowing that, " CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

[Vijaydv]

In that case, SC should release all prisoners and convert the prison as schools!!

[singsingsong]

Now anyone can kill if this gonna happen free to.kill😭

[taiburrahman]

PM ko marne wale ko bail mil jata hai, to aam admi ko marne wale to aise hi chhoot jayenge . Shame

[soniab]

Very bad my decision, sympathy for the families of the innocent people who got charred to death on that night …..this Indian government is so unsympathetic and illogical🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dogaredeemer]

he sold the battery.. sadhvi pragya scooter had planted bombs.. what was the evidence against afzal guru?? just that he confessed in a tv interview?? if confessions are true.. can we take babu babranji confession of 2002 riots. ?

welcome to India the banana republic

[jd-ktde]

Thank God god stand with NSN Tamil peoples perarivalan release historical victory

[byash]

Atleast these people got punished whereas Rajiv Gandhi in spite of doing heinous crimes like approving killing of 5000 Sikhs in Delhi in the year 1984 and killing ethnic Tamils in Sri Lanka by sending IPKF, remained scot free...in case xi jinping sends his troops and kills Hindus in India and one hindu takes the revenge by killing xi jinping, will you tell that hindu person a criminal?

[nirvana-zjgd]

Suprident police, 2 inspector, 1 black cat commandow, 4 police constables, 1 ASI personal security officer, 11year old girl.four civilians were also killed.57 injured 24 of them are bed ridden, lost their limbs, eyes and totally dependent on family for last thirty years many so it's not about Rajiv Gandhi only and Congress it was one of the worst terrorist attack of its time in which many innocent people were killed and one of rarest of rare cases where there would have been no mercy

[anirudh]

Mfs commenting here don’t even know why this guy got even arrested here

[jhilmilsharma]

It shouldn't have happened shame to the Supreme court/ Government.

[sanju]

Buying two 9 V batteries without knowing the motive is the most funny and biggest lie. Everybody knows that he was involved in the assassination conspiracy. Supporting Tamil cause is good but supporting criminals is not. We have several Tamilians who made our country proud. We don't need politically backed criminals for representing Tamil people's achievement.

[mdtalhamadni]

Sometimes I get laugh for the law or the courts
Clearly even if knowing he is culprit
It actually should be lifetime sentence jail or death

[sendil]

Guys before commenting hear the whole video he was arrested for buying two 9 volt batteries which he didn't know for wat use and he served prison for 30 years... nothing much to do hereafter in his life.

[gss]

Victory of tamilnadu, ,,respect from punjab ਪੰਜਾਬ।

[அடிமைத்தமிழன்]

@Aravindh Arvi  subrmanian Swamy name is involved in the case and he is not investigated by MDMA till date, which is still investigating Rajiv's murder in 2022.

Ask Subramanian Swamy to go before MDMA and prove his innocence..or ask MDMA to call Swamy to inquiry.why this is not happening?

Subramanian Swamy and Chandra Swamy both their names clearly are mentioned in Justice Jain commission...they are the real culprits.
