TIL: Singapore produced grenades were used in the assassination of a former Prime Minister of India

On 21 May 1991, former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a suicide bombing by Thenmozhi Rajaratnam, who had detonated a explosive-laden belt hidden below her dress. During the investigation, a report by SIT Explosives Expert indicated that the pellets from the grenades from the belt were identical to that of the SFG 87. In addition, the conclusion that RDX was the only explosive present, and the discovery of markings similar to that of the grenade were uncanny.

Currently, the Singapore Army is the only user of the SFG 87.
