Bhai Kehar Singh, an uncle of Shaheed Bhai Beant Singh, was arrested on the charges of joining conspiracy to murder Indira Gandhi. He, along with Bhai Satwant Singh, was hanged in Tihar jail, Delhi, on January 6, 1989. His body was cremated in jail and his ashes were submerged in a river under the army escort. His sons were dismissed from jobs by the Delhi administration simply because they were the sons of Bhai Kehar Singh.
