Santhan alias Suthenthiraraja, one of the seven life convicts granted premature release in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, has requested the Sri Lankan President to help him return to the island nation and live there with his aged mother.
In a petition sent to the Presidential Secretariat in Colombo, Santhan said he was now lodged in the Tiruchi special camp where foreign nationals facing criminal charges or having no valid documents are kept.
Santhan has sent a request to President Ranil Wickremesinghe, appealing for assistance to return to Sri Lanka and reunite with his aged mother after spending 32 years behind bars.
In his plea, Santhan highlighted that petitions for the renewal of his national identity card and passport are currently in the process with the High Commission.
