Article long enough at 2700b. Referencing is adequate, the source cited mentions one Shri K. S. Gupta who died under similar circumstances in 1946 – before Indian independence, so that's still safe. QPQ has been provided and no copyvio is detected. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 10:02, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I don't get this hook. Why is it interesting or unusual to die in the chamber after independence? Based on the article, what is interesting is that he died in the chamber just after giving a speech. Viriditas (talk) 00:44, 14 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
