The row over
the release of seven-convicted Rajiv Gandhi killers saw an expected turn on
Wednesday when the convicts filed for Right to Information (RTI) Act pertaining
to the premature release of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt.
There have
been widespread protests in Tamil Nadu for the release of Rajiv Gandhi killers
who have been sentenced to death by the Supreme Court. Many protesters demand
from the Jayalalithaa government the release of the accused persons in the case
who have served more than 25 years in prison.
The AIADMK
supported the plea filed by the convicts and asked the RTI to seek information
about Sanjay Dutt's premature release in the 1993 blasts case. The lawyers
cited common charges between the two and raised questions about why the
Bollywood actor had been accorded early release.
