On February 7, Murugan began the indefinite fast demanding the release of all the convicts in the Rajiv case as they were incarcerated for the past 27 years. A few days back, his wife Nalini, also a convict in the same case, began a fast extending her support. As their health condition deteriorated, both were taken to the jail hospital. But the duo refused to undergo treatment. So, they were shifted back to their cells.
