Rajiv Gandhi's Killer Peraivalan After Release: 'We Overcame It All Knowing Truth Was On Our Side'

After the Supreme Court ordered the release of A G Perarivalan, one of the life convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, he said, “my mother’s struggle for 31 years has finally paid off.”

While ordering the release, the Supreme Court used its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution. A bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao and B R Gavai said that the Tamil Nadu Cabinet had in September 2018 recommended his release to the Governor taking into account relevant considerations. Article 142 enables the court to pass orders to do complete justice in a case. It said that any delay on the part of the Governor to decide on the exercise of powers under Article 161 to grant pardon, remission of sentence etc is subject to judicial review.

National media should have some responsibility while making statements. He is not the killer, he is just a suspect who has been punished..this judiciary system should apologize to him

In this channel some people are saying present release from jail person are not killer than why they are lodge in jail for 30 years. Somewhere they are guilty before the court that is why they are landed in jail. If they are releasing now than it is a murder of our judiciary system. Release all jailer. There is no need of court attention.

Day by day india is improving a lot and we are going back to ancient maharaja direction. No one is following our constitution. Since new govt came to power all our institutions became weak. In all states the criminals are set free and roaming freely. This is how about our new india.
