History

Historical Context

The 21 May 1991 suicide bombing that killed former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and 16 others in Sriperumbudur, carried out by LTTE member Kalaivani Rajaratnam, sparked nationwide outrage and tighter anti-terror security. In 2026, Delhi police linked suspects Anya Vats and Sanyam Sachdeva to the murder of Yuvraj Singh Manchanda at the Golden Dragon restaurant, a case that echoes lingering investigative challenges from the 1991 assassination.
