13 March 1940, Udham Singh shot and killed Michael O’Dwyer in Britain
On 13 March 1940 Indian Revolutionary Udham Singh dressed like a perfect English gentleman shot Michael O’dyer the retired British official who was killed on the spot, in London in a public gathering. 21 years earlier as the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, Udham Singh held Michael’s order responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. In 1919 under the leadership of General Dyer, British police had open fire on completely unarmed civilians which has led to the death of more than 1500 people. The governor of Punjab was actually seen supporting this event and this act was done by Udham Singh to avenge the death of people killed during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
