General Arun Vaidya had was the chief of Indian army when this attack was carried out in 1984. On August 10, 1986 he was assassinated by Bhai Sukhdev Singh Sukha and Harjinder Singh Jinda in Pune. After their arrest Bhai Sukha-Jinda had admitted the assassination of Arun Vaidya and cited historical tradition of Sikhs to bring invaders to justice as justification of this assassination. They happily accepted the death sentence awarded by Indian court and they were hanged on 9 October, 1992 in Yerwada Jail in Pune. They were later declared to be National martyrs of Sikhs and their martyrdom day is observed at Sri Akal Takhat Sahib every year.
