Sardar Udham Singh travelled to London for approximately 20 years to exact vengeance for the atrocity, and on March 13, 1940, he shot dead former Lieutenant Governor of Punjab Michael O'Dwyer. On 13 March 1940, an Indian revolutionary, Udham Singh, shot O'Dwyer dead at a combined gathering of the East India Association and the Central Asian Society in Caxton Hall in Westminster, London, in vengeance for the carnage in Amritsar.
