Convicted for his role in the 31 August 1995 assassination of Punjab chief minister Beant Singh in Chandigarh. This is a legal record, not a death entry.
The supplied file states that Jagtar Singh Hawara was convicted for his role in the 1995 assassination of Punjab chief minister Beant Singh. The bomb attack happened in Chandigarh. He was not killed in that event. A complete entry has to follow the judgment, the sentence, appeals, and later legal status, and those should be checked against current court and prison sources before they are stated as up to date. The pin is Chandigarh.
