The apex court's verdict on Thursday - July 27 came at a high time when the Enforcement Directorate has come under a sharp public scrutiny over its raids against the opposition leaders and critics of the BJP regime.

The director appealed against the judgement, but his plea was dismissed by the Madras Principal Sessions Court on April 12, 2023.

The case dates back to 2014, when Lingusamy and his brother Subash Chandra Bose, who own the production house Thirrupathi Brothers, borrowed Rs 1.03 crore from PVP Capital Limited.

"The tour will begin imminently. We will request justice and fairness district by district and when we meet people, we reveal numerous secrets that held for long,"

All these four people were convicted of being a part of the plot to assassin Rajiv Gandhi. Since they were Sri Lankans, they were moved to a special camp in Trichy from their prison.
