Nalini Sriharan, a life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, walked out of Vellore Jail on Thursday on a month’s parole to make arrangements for and attend her daughter Harithra’s wedding.
Nalini was received outside the jail by her mother, a retired nurse. Her daughter, who studies medicine in the UK, is expected to join her next week, NDTV reported.
According to her parole conditions, Nalini can’t leave Vellore and won’t be allowed to meet politicians or speak to the media during this period.
The Madras High Court had granted Nalini the leave earlier this month during a hearing at which she argued for herself.
Nalini was also granted a day’s parole last year to attend the funeral of her father, Sankara Narayanan (92) in Chennai.
Notably, Nalini was initially sentenced to death for providing shelter to Rajiv Gandhi’s assassin. However, after intervention by Sonia Gandhi, the sentence was commuted to life when she gave birth to her daughter in jail.
