This is a rare picture of the moment when 37 years ago Nathuram Godse shot and assasinated the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. This picture was then published in an English newspaper. Mr.Jabbar Khan, owner of Noble Tailors, Dadiseth Road, Girgaum Chowpati, Mumbai had framed and kept the picture in his shop to preserve memories of that historic moment. Our correspondent Ghanshyam Bhadekar made Herculean efforts to obtain a copy of the picture. 70 year old Jabbar Khan is a famous tailor of the olden days. He has been awarded Certificates of Commendation by former Governors Shriprakash, Sadiq Khan, Abdul Latif, Konda Madhav Reddy as well as former CM Antuley.

Looks to be a real picture and not a fake one. This is because the person standing with the gun looks very similar to Nathuram Godse seen in other pictures on the internet.
Gandhiji seems to be going down after the shots getting fired. i.e. this picture is the one which is shot after he fired the shots, it seems.
