While Nathuram Godse continues to be a controversial figure decades after his death, few in Mumbai are aware that a 1,000-square-feet hall in the city served as a makeshift lock-up for Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin, days after he shot the nation’s beloved patriarch at point blank range.
According to a noted historian, he was lodged in the Mumbai Special Branch (SB) office after the assassination, so that angry mobs of Indians couldn’t attack him in the jail lock-up.
