Even after more than five decades, the death of India's former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri remains clouded with mystery.
A few hours after signing the agreement on January 10th, 1966, the Indian Prime Minister retired to his room after having a light meal which Jan Mohammad, Indian ambassador TN Kaul's personal had cooked, and a glass of milk and went to sleep. As mentioned in the reports, Shastri woke up coughing at around 1:25 am the next day (January 11, 1966) and as strange as it sounds, he had no intercom or telephone in his room; so he had to walk to another room to ask someone to call his personal doctor- Dr. Chugh. Unfortunately, by the time Dr. Chugh arrived, Shastri was fighting for his last breath. While the later reports which emerged after Lal Bahadur Shastri's death attribute his demise to a heart attack, there are several doubts that raise questions on its credibility.
