Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated at 9:29 a.m. on 31 October 1984 at her residence in Safdarjung Road, New Delhi. She was killed by her Sikh bodyguards Satwant Singh and Beant Singh in the aftermath of Operation Blue Star. Operation Bluestar was an Indian military massacre carried out between 1 and 8 June 1984, ordered by Indira Gandhi to remove the Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his armed followers from the buildings of the Harmandir Sahib complex in Amritsar, Punjab. The collateral damage included the death of many pilgrims, as well as damage to the Akal Takht. The military action on the sacred temple was criticized by the Sikhs around the world.

Iron Lady of India, Indira Gandhi died on October 31 in 1984. She was shot dead by two of her bodyguards. Her words spoken just the previous day at a public rally in Bhubaneswar had turned prophetic.

Indira Gandhi was reading out from a speech prepared by HY Sharada Prasad, her information adviser. Junking the written script for a few moments, Indira Gandhi spoke about the possibility of a violent end to her life.

She said, I am here today, I may not be here tomorrow. Nobody knows how many attempts have been made to shoot me I do not care whether I live or die. I have lived a long life and I am proud that I spend the whole of my life in the service of my people.

By night on October 30, Indira Gandhi was back in New Delhi. It had been a hectic day for her but somehow she could not sleep well that night. Sonia Gandhi has written in her book Rajiv -- that Indira Gandhi was awake till 4 the next morning when she got up looking for her medicine for asthma.

Indira Gandhi asked her daughter-in-law to call her if she needed any help. Gandhi said that she was awake.

Divya Bharti's tragic death. Accident, Suicide or Murder? '90s heroine, दिव्या भारती

Divya Bharti (25 February 1974 – 5 April 1993) was an Indian film actress who starred in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil movies in the early 1990s. Known for her acting versatility, vivacity and beauty, she was regarded as one of the most popular and highest paid Indian actresses of her time.[3][4]

Bharti aspired to a film career at the age of 14, while she was doing some modelling assignments. She made her debut with a lead role in the successful Telugu drama Bobbili Raja (1990) at the age of 16. After featuring in high-grossing Telugu films, she progressed to Hindi cinema in 1992 with the action thriller Vishwatma. Bharti went on to have commercial success, appearing in films such as Shola Aur Shabnam and Deewana, the latter of which led to her winning the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.[5] She acted in over a dozen Hindi films within a single year, which is still an unbroken record in Hindi cinema.

The family room in the house had an open window and it was open. Although the windows had an auto stopping opening but that day there were no auto stop. Divya, at the time when no one was watching, facing her back towards the family room, reached on the tight ledge beneath the window that was around 12 inches wide. She tried to turn around to hold the window and at that very moment, she slipped and felled down with a crash on the solid underneath the window. It was said that there was a parking lot beneath the window, but on that day, not even a single car was parked there.

The whole incident happened in a matter of three minutes and she finally landed down in three minutes. As soon as everyone heard the crash, they came running and found Divya lying in a pool of blood. It was reported that she was alive at that time but during her way to the hospital, her heart beats started falling down quickly.

It was said that on the same date of her death, the actress had finalized a new apartment for herself and she was very happy as it was really difficult to buy a 4BHK apartment in a city like Mumbai and that is the reason she could not stop gushing about the same to her brother Kunal who then left her apartment. She even postponed her movie shoot in Hyderabad because of the new deal and a bandaged foot. She even informed her producers about the same and then she had to meet her dear friend and designer Neeta Lulla and her husband at her Versova flat.

In a bizarre turn of events, a 37-year-old electrical engineer dug a hole in the terrace of a bank on the outskirts of Delhi, intending a robbery, but ended up struggling for three days before getting nabbed by the police.

The man, identified as Deepak, works for a Gurgaon-based company and had to reportedly pay a Rs 35 lakh loan.

Deepak broke into the bank at around 9.30 pm on August 14 by digging a hole into the terrace of the State Bank of India's Muradnagar branch in Ghaziabad. He then took some rest after getting into the bank and then took stock of the situation. He had two nights to conduct the robbery, August 15 being a national holiday and August 16 a Sunday.

After analysing the situation minutely, Deepak left the bank in the morning of August 15, only to return back in the next morning. He tried hard to break through the strong room using hammers and cutters, but failed. He also visited the washroom and walked out often to breathe in some fresh air.

The bank was surrounded by the police in the night of August 16 after a man visited the ATM attached to the same building and heard some noise coming from the bank. The manager of the bank was called and Deepak was arrested.

It was later revealed that Deepak used to live in Muradnagar prior to moving to Delhi and used to visit the bank often. During his visits, he had discovered that the bank had a weak security system.
