The 1983 Dhilwan Bus massacre was a massacre of 6 Hindus by Sikh extremists amidst the Insurgency in Punjab.[1][2][3][4][5] It occurred on 5 October 1983, when a bus going from Dhilwan in Kapurthala district to Jalandhar was attacked by Sikh militants in which six Hindu passengers were shot dead in Dhilwan in the northern state of Punjab, India.[1][6]
This Bus massacre in Punjab by pro-Khalistan Sikh militants [2][3] put immense pressure on the Indian government.[4] A day after the incident, state government was dismissed, and President's rule was imposed in Punjab.[1]
