1987 Fatehabad bus killings was a massacre of Hindu bus-passengers by Sikh anti-Government terrorists. It occurred on 7 July 1987 near Fatehabad, in the northern state of Haryana, India.[1][2]
The militants attacked two buses and killed 34 bus passengers. The militants created roadblock by using a car and a Jeep. They singled out Hindu passengers and dragged them off to shot them to death.[1] The Khalistan Commando Force claimed responsibility for the attacks.[1]
