The childhood friend of Rajiv Gandhi, Adil Shahryar who was son of Mohammed Yunus, former Charmian of the Trade Fair Authority of India and once a possible presidential candidate was granted clemency by US President on June 11, 1985.

Was it a coincidence?

A joint statement was issued on June 15 referred to science and technology initiative that commenced in 1982 and extended it by 3 years on October 1985. He visited US for the second time in October 1987.
