BirthFactDeath (-) Wednesday 31st of October 1984 40 years ago He Did What He Had to Do
First female Prime Minister of India Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi shot dead by her Sikh body-guards Beant Singh and Satwant Singh in the aftermath of Operation Blue Star, the Indian Army's June 1984 assault on the Golden Temple in Amritsar which left the Sikh temple heavily damaged at the age of 67 in 1 Safdarjung Road, New Delhi, Delhi, India. Beant fired three rounds into her abdomen from his .38 revolver and then Satwant fired 30 rounds from his Sten submachine gun after she had fallen to the ground. Both men then threw down their weapons and Beant said "I have done what I had to do. You do what you want to do."
