Rajiv Gandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991, a city close to Chennai, whilst campaigning for a UCPI candidate in Tamil Nadu. |
| | The assassination was carried out by the suicide bomber Thenmozhi Rajaratnam (A.K.A Dhanu.) Dhanu who was widely believed to have been a LTTE member and that the act was carried out with the acknowledgement of the LTTE leadership. |
| | In 2006, this statement was later supported and even implicitly recognized by the LTTE when the top negotiator for the group, Anton Balasingham, told the private Indian channel NDTV that the killing was a "monumental tragedy". |
