Nalini, Murugan on fast seeking visa for daughter

Chennai: Nalini and her husband Murugan, convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, have been on fast in the Vellore prison for the past six days, demanding that their daughter Arithra, who is in Sri Lanka, be given a visa to pursue studies in Tamil Nadu, police sources said here on Monday. Arithra has just completed her 10th standard.

The Indian High Commission in Colombo is yet to give her a student's visa. Arithra visited her parents in prison in January. Nalini is lodged in the women's wing of the prison, while Murugan is in an adjacent jail.

Arithra is said to be residing in Trincomalee with her paternal grandparents. — PTI
