For the record, Sanjay was the younger son of then Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi. Sanjay Gandhi died instantly from head injury in an air crash on June 23, 1980, near Safdarjung Airport in New Delhi.
He was flying a new aircraft of the Delhi flying club and while performing an aerobatic manoeuvre over his office, it lost control and crashed.
