Explanation:
Gandhi was on her way to be interviewed by British actor Peter Ustinov who was filming a documentary for Irish television. She was walking through the garden of the Prime Minister's Residence at No. 1 Safdarjung Road in New Delhi towards the neighboring 1 Akbar Road office.[1]
She passed a wicket gate guarded by Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, and the two men opened fire. Beant Singh fired three rounds into her abdomen from his .38 revolver,[6] then Satwant Singh fired 30 rounds from his Sten submachine gun after she had fallen to the ground.[6] Both men then threw down their weapons and Beant Singh said, "I have done what I had to do. You do what you want to do." In the next six minutes, Border Police officers Tarsem Singh Jamwal and Ram Saran captured and killed Beant Singh. Satwant Singh was arrested by Gandhi's other bodyguards along with an accomplice trying to escape; he was seriously wounded.[7] Satwant Singh was hanged in 1989 with accomplice Kehar Singh.[8]
Salma Sultan gave the first news of the assassination of Indira Gandhi on Doordarshan's evening news on 31 October 1984, more than ten hours after she was shot.[9][10] It is alleged[by whom?] that Gandhi's secretary R. K. Dhawan overruled intelligence and security officials who had ordered the removal of Sikh policemen as a security threat, including her assassins.[11]
Beant Singh was one of Gandhi's favorite guards whom she had known for ten years.[6] Satwant Singh was 22 years old when he assassinated her and had been assigned to Gandhi's guard just five months before the assassination.[6]
