Seven decades after the probe into Gandhi’s murder and the subsequent execution of the accused, a new petition has been filed in the Supreme Court of India challenging many facts in the case. (Wikimedia Commons)
The evening of January 30, 1948, was a defining moment in Indian history. The Father of the nation was in the lawn of Birla House in Delhi, when a right wing advocate of Hindu nationalism, Nathuram Godse, walked up to him and fired three shots at point blank range. Gandhi died on spot jolting the barely six months old country into complete despair. Seven decades after the probe into the murder and the subsequent execution of the accused, a new petition has been filed in the Supreme Court of India challenging many facts in the case.
Petitioner Pankaj Phadnis, an independent researcher and co-founder of Abhinav Bharat (an organisation inspired by the ideologies of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar), wants to know whether anybody other than the accused had prior knowledge of the conspiracy to murder Gandhi. His petition is based on reportage and personal accounts pointing to the possibility of a fourth bullet being fired at Gandhi, but not from Godse’s pistol, suggesting that there could have been a second assassin.

Phadnis’ petition has come under heavy criticism, particularly from historians and intellectuals, who consider it to be an attempt to free the political descendants of Gandhi’s murderers from the burden of guilt. “These are political statements to confuse the issue, to denigrate people and to defend those who are responsible. The idea is to take the burden of the guilt, off the communalists of this country,” says historian Aditya Mukherjee. While the political motivation behind Phadnis’ petition can hardly be ignored, there are some interesting questions that his fourth bullet theory raises about the investigation of Gandhi’s assassination.
