About Shaheed Udham Singh
He was present in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar on the fateful Baisakhi festival (festival of harvest) on 13 April 1919, where about 20,000 unarmed men, women and children gathered and General Dyer arrived with his troops, sealed the only exit to park and opened fire without any warning on unarmed crowd. Many people lost their lives in horrific massacre.

He made his way to England arrived there in 1933 to execute Michael O’Dwyer, who was then governor of Punjab responsible for brutal Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He opened fire at Michael O’Dwyer in Caxton Hall in London, killing him on spot in March 1940. Udham Singh was then hanged four months later at Pentonville Prison and his mortal remains were handed over to India in 1974.
