Following a half-a-dozen attempts on Mahatma Gandhi's life, beginning 1917 he was shot dead 1/30/1948. It was 5.17 PM in Delhi.

There were plots to poison him, and to assassinate him with a bomb explosion or gunfire. Mahatma Gandhi survived until Nathuram Godse, guided by fanatic passion, pumped bullets in his chest and stomach at Birla temple following his final prayer and meditation.
