The Supreme Court’s decision to release A.G. Perarivalan, a life convict in former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination case, is yet another addition to the “special coincidence” between the month of May and events and personalities associated with the case.
It was on the night of May 21, 1991 in Sriperumbudur that a ‘human bomb’ killed Rajiv Gandhi and 15 others, including a Superintendent of Police.
