Featured Investigation: Sanjay Gandhi’s Mid‑Air Crash

One of the stories that draws a lot of curiosity is the June 23, 1980 crash that killed Sanjay Gandhi, son of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He was piloting a small aircraft over Delhi when the plane went into a steep dive during an aerobatic maneuver. The loss of control caused the craft to hit a residential area, ending his life at 33.

The crash sparked intensive investigations. Officials examined the plane’s maintenance records, weather reports, and pilot training logs. Findings pointed to a combination of pilot error and possible mechanical failure, but political speculation lingered for years.

What makes this case interesting isn’t just the tragedy—it’s how the incident shifted Indian politics. With Sanjay out of the picture, power dynamics within the Congress party changed, affecting decisions that shaped the country’s direction for a decade.
