NEW DELHI - India’s top court Friday ordered the release of six people convicted over the assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
India’s supreme court said the convicts were being released based on their “satisfactory conduct” in prison and that they had served over three decades of jail time. Mr Gandhi became India’s youngest prime minister after his mother and predecessor Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards in 1984.
“It is most unfortunate that the Supreme Court has not acted in consonance with the spirit of India on this issue,” the party said, tweeting a statement by senior member Jairam Ramesh.
