Who is AG Perarivalan, the man SC released in Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case

AG Perarivalan, a convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, spent 31 years in jail before the Supreme Court ordered his release. Perarivalan had been awarded the death sentence before the Supreme Court commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. He was 19 years old when Perarivalan was accused of buying the two 9-volt batteries for Sivarasan, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) man who masterminded the assassination. The batteries were used in the bomb to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi, although Perarivalan says he never knew the purpose for which the batteries were to be used.
