SC seeks report on probe into bomb conspiracy

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday directed the Central government to inform it about the investigations carried out into the conspiracy behind making of belt bomb used by suicide bomber Dhanu to kill former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at an election meeting at Tamil Nadu’s Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991.
A bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi sought information on the investigation carried on this dimension of conspiracy on a plea by A G Perarivalan – a convict in the assassination conspiracy case undergoing life imprisonment.
“What is the result of the re-investigation or further investigation on this aspect? Kindly address us on this. We want only this,” Justice Gogoi told Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh who appeared for the CBI.
As counsel Gopal Shankar-narayan appearing for Perarivalan sought to flag many issues, the bench said that as far as Perarivalan was concerned, the investigation into the conspiracy behind the making of belt bomb was the only issue.
