Perarivalan gets 30-day parole

Chennai:08.11.2019

A G Perarivalan, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, has been granted 30 days parole in view of his father’s poor health.

Though DIG (prisons) A Murugesan issued the notification on November 5, Perarivalan has not been released from prison yet as the authorities have sought police protection for him while he is on parole.

This is the second time Perarivalan, who has been in prison for 28 years, is being granted parole. The first time was in 2017 when his initial 30 days parole was extended by another 30 days following a request from his mother, Arputham Ammal. She has been relentlessly campaigning for his release for years, petitioning the governments at the Centre and in the state. TNN
