Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked about the killing of her father Rajiv Gandhi when she met her in prison in 2008 and she was emotional, Nalini Sriharan, one of the convicts freed in the former prime minister's assassination case said in Chennai on Sunday.
Murugan, along with Santhan, both Sri Lankan nationals, were taken in a police vehicle following their release to the special refugee camp in Tiruchirappalli in the state.
Nalini, who is serving a life sentence in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, aspires to be a social worker if she is released from Vellore Central Prison, where she has been lodged for the last 19 years. Nalini, who has sought premature release, does not want to go back to her family life and wants to work for women. Confined to a 6-feet by 10-foot cell in Vellore Central Prison, Nalini spends most of her time studying.
This one relates to an attack on a former official of the Kanchi Mutt, G Radhakrishnan, and two others in September 2002.
