The Hunt – The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case Review: Gripping Series Gives Ringside View of CBI Investigation, Hews Close to What Happened

  • On May 21, 1991, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was killed in a suicide bombing during a rally in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu.
  • The assassination stemmed from the Tamil Tigers' retaliation against Gandhi for sending the Indian Peacekeeping Force into Sri Lanka's civil war.
  • The investigation followed a 90-day timeline led by IPS officer D.R. Kaarthikeyan and uncovered the conspiracy hatched by LTTE militant Sivarasan and his team.
  • A surviving Chinon camera from the blast provided key photographic evidence, while the series opener features the haunting call asking, "Is Rajiv Gandhi alive?" to set the tone.
  • The Sony LIV series The Hunt portrays the tense manhunt and investigation with strong performances but acknowledges remaining sensitivities and some dramatization.
