Abstract

The psychological impact of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on psychiatric inpatients was studied. A semistructured interview indicated faulty perception of, and inappropriate reaction to, the event and its implications in the patients, often colored by their background and illness. The Modified Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale indicated a significant rise in their psychopathology soon after the event.
