How many bullets pierced the Mahatma's body? Common belief says

three, but Dr Pankaj Phadnis says four. The founder of Abhinav Bharat

Mumbai believes another shot was fired, but not from Nathuram

Godse's gun. Phadnis also claims that Narayan Apte, one of Gandhi's

killers, was a British agent. While his claims seem fantastic, the

Supreme Court has appointed an amicus curiae to deal with his plea

for appointing a commission to re-investigate the murder.
