Rajiv's assasin Nalini dreams

Nalini, serving life sentence in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, dreams of being a social worker if she is released from Vellore Central Prison where she has been lodged for the last 19 years.

Nalini, who has sought premature release, does not want to go back to her family life and wants to work for women, her counsel S Duraisamy said.

"She will not go back to family life. She wants to become a social worker and work for the poor and downtrodden women," S Duraisamy, counsel for Nalini since 1991, quoting her said.

Duraisamy was replying to questions sent by PTI for Nalini.

Asked about Priyanka Gandhi's visit to Nalini in 2008, he said they had spent nearly an hour together discussing a number of issues.

"Priyanka had a misconception that Nalini might be knowing the reason as to why her father was killed. But then since Nalini did not know anything, they ended up discussing their children's schooling and all.
