Rules were being changed for the public court and interview
The public court used to hold Darbar at Indira Gandhi’s Safdarganj home.

On the evening of October 30, Indira Gandhi returned to Delhi from Bhubaneswar in Orissa after addressing a public meeting.
According to the rules, the Janata Darbar was not to be handled the next day. Concerning this, his colleagues and security personnel also refused.
But Indira Gandhi had given an appointment to Peter Ustinov, an Irish film director. Therefore, she flatly refused to accept anything.

At 9.32 in the morning, they reached AIIMS with Indira Gandhi. Only blood was apparent in Indira Gandhi’s entire body.
