The country’s longest-serving woman prisoner, Nalini Sriharan, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, would be released on 30-day parole (ordinary leave) on Thursday from the special prison for women in Vellore. She will be accompanied by a team of around 10 armed police personnel to keep a hawk eye on her.
The police department is yet to decide on the exact number of personnel for the security duty. “We are awaiting an official communication regarding the security details and escort for the prisoner,” Superintendent of Police of Vellore K Pravesh Kumar told TOI. A similar arrangement was made when another life convict in the Rajiv assassination case, Perarivalan, was released on parole for 60 days (from August 24, 2017). “We will come to a final decision on the scale of security based on the recommendation of the prison department,” he said.
She had got the 30-day parole to make arrangements for the wedding of her daughter Charitha Sriharan, 27. Nalini got a Madras high court order in her favour on July 5, granting her parole for 30 days.
This is the third time she is being granted leave from prison. Earlier, she came out on parole for her brother Bhagyanathan’s marriage and later for her father’s funeral rites – on both occasions, for a day each. Nalini will be staying in Sathuvachari in Vellore town along with her mother Padmavathy and other family members. When Perarivalan was granted parole by the Edappadi K Palaniswami government on compassionate grounds, after he sought to spend time with his ailing father A Kuyildasan, the police ensured round-the-clock security.
Nalini’s counsel A Pugalendhi said her daughter, who was born in Chengalpet government hospital, was with her mother in the prison for four years. She left for the UK in 2005 where she pursued medicine. “Nalini’s daughter is now a citizen of the UK,” he said.
