Saravana Bhavan founder and murder convict P Rajagopal passes away

P Rajgopal

P Rajagopal is the founder of the popular South Indian food chain Saravana Bhavan. He had surrendered along with another accused earlier to serve life term after the Supreme Court rejected his plea seeking more time on grounds of ill-health.



While upholding the life sentence awarded to Rajagopal for murdering an employee in October 2001 to marry his wife, the Supreme Court had ordered him to surrender in the trial court on July 7.
