Question 

Who was the only Indian PM who was assassinated when in office  ??

Answer 

I was surprised by hearing the question.

3 Indian PMs have got assassinated.

1.   Indira Gandhi 

2.  Lal Bahadur Shastri

3.  Rajiv Gandhi 

I searched for correct answer.

Lal Bahadur Shastri's death was not counted as assassination.

Because there is no proof.

 No post mortem was done.

Heart attack was said to be official cause of death.

Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by LTTE suicide bomber.

But at that time, Rajiv Gandhi was not the sitting PM.

He was the former PM and was campaigning for elections.

That impies,

Indira Gandhi is the only Indian PM who was assassinated when in office .......
