Foils Attempt On Nehru's Life Near Bombay
A policeman foiled an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Nehru as a live bomb was found in the Amritsar Express path near Kalyan. Nehru continued to New Delhi by plane after completing a famine tour in Maharashtra. An unidentified man fled as the bomb was removed by the officer at the locomotive headlight. The device may have been a pressure-explosive type later sent to Bombay for analysis. Nehru, India's first PM, had led the country since 1947 and jailed thousands of Communists in early independence.
