A G Perarivalan was one of the seven convicts in the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. In the 30 years of his jail term, he spent 15 years on death row and a total of almost 24 years in solitary confinement in prison. After the decades-long legal battle, the Supreme Court, citing its extraordinary powers, released Perarivalan on May 18, 2022.
