"See Us As Victims, Not Killers": Rajiv Gandhi Case Convict After Release

"Time and power determine who is a terrorist or a freedom fighter but time will judge us as innocent, even if we bear the blame for being terrorists," RP Ravichandran said after his release from Madurai Central Prison.

RP Ravichandran, one of the six convicts who was released on Saturday in the assassination case of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, said that the people of north India should see them as "victims instead of terrorists or killers".

He said that time will judge them as "innocents".

Speaking to ANI after his release from Madurai Central Prison, Ravichandran said, "The people of north India should see us as victims instead of terrorists or killers. Time and power determine who is a terrorist or a freedom fighter but time will judge us as innocent, even if we bear the blame for being terrorists."

Nalini and Ravichandran had approached the top court seeking release from prison-like fellow convict AG Perarivalan.
