Chennai, December 23
The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday granted one-month parole to Nalini Sriharan, one of the seven convicts in the assassination case of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
It came after repeated requests from her ailing mother Padma. State Special Public Prosecutor Hassan Mohammed Jinnah informed the Madras High Court on Thursday that the state government has granted one-month ordinary parole to Nalini. She is lodged in Vellore Special Prison for Women.
Nalini will be staying at a rented accommodation at Satuvachery in Vellore under tight police security with her mother Padma, her sister Kalyani and her brother Bakianathan.
She along with her husband Sriharan, who is a Sri Lankan national, has been under imprisonment three weeks after the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi on May 21, 1991, at Sriperumbudur.
This will be the third time she will be walking out of prison where she has been lodged for the last three decades. In 2018, she was granted parole for a day to attend father’s funeral while the next year, she was out on parole for a month in connection with daughter’s marriage.
