Indira Gandhi was assassinated on 31 October 1984 by two of her Sikh bodyguards, Beant Singh and Satwant Singh. The motive given by the assassins was revenge for Operation Blue Star (June 1984), when Gandhi ordered the Indian Army to storm the Golden Temple in Amritsar to remove armed militants. Beant Singh was killed at the scene; Satwant Singh was arrested, convicted, and later executed. The assassination sparked widespread anti‑Sikh riots across India.
