Determined to prevent Rajiv Gandhi from returning to power fearing the reinduction of the IPKF, the LTTE supremo Pirabhakaran ordered the killing of Rajiv at a meeting held in Jaffna in October 1990.
Dhanu was a member of the LTTE's suicide squad, Black Tigers. Very little is known about her, except that she was an extraordinarily motivated woman and carried out two dry runs during public meetings before targeting then PM Rajiv Gandhi at an election rally in Sriperumbudur.
