Nalini Sriharan, who recently released her autobiography in Chennai, has come out with a story from the other end of the spectrum. Sriharan is one of the convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case and has spent 25 years in prison for her involvement in the killing of the former PM.

The book reportedly documents accounts of alleged torture by police officers at Malligai, then office of the probe team where most accused in the case were interrogated for several weeks. Sriharan’s association with the LTTE would make it interesting to see what revelations she brings out in her autobiography. The book also reportedly contains two chapters on Sriharan’s secret meeting with Priyanka Gandhi.

Talking to The Indian Express, Sriharan’s lawyer Pugazhenthi told them that she has tried to put together her entire life in the autobiography—starting from her childhood, teenage years, her meeting with Murugan, circumstances that made her part of a team led by Sivarasan, her life until the arrest after the assassination, arrest, birth of her daughter in prison, conviction and her 25-year-long incarceration.

‘The secret meeting with Priyanka was a tense moment as she was agitated to see her father’s assassin and kept asking Nalini why he was killed. Nalini told Priyanka that she neither had a role in the conspiracy nor did she know about the murder plan,’ Pugazhenthi said to

The Indian Express.

Authored in Tamil, the 600-page book will have 100 pages with forewords by leading Tamil politicians, including Vaiko, Thol Thirumavalavan and Seeman.
