because of the massacre in Amritsar
it has been thot that Shaheed Udham Singh Bawa killed him... but Gen. Dyer died of cerebral hemorrhage. Udham Singh actually killed Michael O'Dwyer who was governor of Punjab during Amritsar incident...
Shaheed Udham Singh shot General Dyer 2 times.
General Dyer was assassinated by Udham Singh, an Indian revolutionary. Singh sought vengeance for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919, where Dyer ordered troops to fire on a peaceful gathering, resulting in numerous deaths. Singh shot Dyer on March 13, 1940, in London, as an act of retribution for the atrocities committed during British colonial rule in India. He was later tried and executed for the assassination.
