He was assassinated by a Hindu extremist in January 1948Police have said thieves stole Mahatma Gandhi’s remains on what would have been his 150th birthday. The ashes were taken from a memorial in central India, where they had been kept since 1948 - the year of Gandhi's assassination by a Hindu extremist, reports BBC. Mangaldeep Tiwari, caretaker of the Bapu Bhawan memorial, where the ashes were being held, said the theft was "shameful." I urge Rewa police to check CCTV cameras installed inside Bapu Bhawan," Singh said. Because of his fame, some were held back and sent around India to various memorials - including the one in the Bapu Bhawan.
