It was surprising to hear the release of A G Perarivalan by the Supreme Court in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. It was he who designed the battery to kill our PM on May 21, 1991 at Sriperumbudur. Indian law sometimes punishes the innocent and releases the actual culprits or accused in murder and criminal cases. Initially, Perarivalan was given capital punishment which was later turned into a life sentence without the death penalty. If an accused in a murder case gets relief then no one will be afraid of the law. Killing somebody has become easy and common in India and in Goa too. The other day, Indrani Mukerjea was granted bail and was released by the Supreme Court. Though it takes time to prove the crime in murder cases, the court takes decisions which are not expected by the public at large.
