These three were ex-convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case and all of them are Sri Lankans. Today they have returned to their home country, that also nearly two years after being freed by the Supreme Court.

Sri Lanka’s Tamil separatist group LTTE was blamed for the murder of Rajiv Gandhi back in in 1991, this incident happened during an election campaign in Tamil Nadu. Murugan, Robert Payas and Jayakumar, the three convicts have arrived at the Colombo International Airport around 11 am according to the local time on Wednesday on a flight from Chennai, according to the police officials.
The trio convicts and Santhan, who is the fourth convict, were released from prison in 2022 but they were lodged in a special camp in Tiruchirappalli. Atlast, on Tuesday night they were brought to Chennai to be sent to Sri Lanka. The four were among the seven convicts who were got freed from the case by India’s Supreme Court in November 2022. The others who were convicted and got freed in the case are Perarivalan, Ravichandran and Nalini, all Indians.
The Tamil Nadu government had informed the Madras High Court last month ,that the Sri Lankan High Commission had granted the travel documents to Murugan and the rest. The Tamil Nadu government also said that they can now return home after a deportation order gets issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). Murugan’s wife Nalini had moved the court, to seek a direction from the authorities to permit her husband to appear before the Sri Lankan High Commission here with an escort to get an ‘all country passport‘. The couple wanted to join their daughter who is now residing in the UK.
