ONE SLIDE:
On 20 January 1948, Previous assassinations on Gandhi had resulted by Madanlal Pahwa, Shankar Kistaiya, Digambar Badge, Vishnu Karkare, Gopal Godse, Nathuram Godse, and Narayan Apte, but the only one who succeeded was Nathuram Godse.
January 30, 1948 was the day Gandhi was murdered outside on the steps of a building where a prayer meeting was going to take place. He was surrounded by a part of his family and some followers when three gunshots killed him, approaching him during the evening prayer, bowing, and shot him three times at close range.
