Tarlochan Singh, 88

"My car was stopped by the mob at R.K. Puram. They broke the glass and threw a burning torch inside. My alert driver picked it up and flung it out. I was lucky to survive."

Mr. Tarlochan Singh was Press Secretary to the President of India. His car was in the President’s convoy when it was attacked in New Delhi. The President had cut short his visit to Yemen and was going to AIIMS where Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s body lay.
