Aside from drinking his own urine and sleeping with young girls and being that most depised being, a lawyer, what was he? But I was referring to Indira Gandhi who was assassinated by her trusted Sikh guards (see Wikipedia entry)
“On 31 October 1984, two of Gandhi’s bodyguards, Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, shot her with their service weapons in the garden of the Prime Minister’s residence at 1 Safdarjung Road, New Delhi. The shooting occurred as she was walking past a wicket gate guarded by Satwant and Beant. She was to have been interviewed by the British actor Peter Ustinov, who was filming a documentary for Irish television. Beant Singh shot her three times using his side-arm, and Satwant Singh fired 30 rounds.”
