We were fast asleep when the phone rang in the early hours of 26 June 1975. Subramanian Swamy, was on the line, sounding very agitated as he informed that JP, KR Malkani, and other opposition leaders had been picked up by the police earlier in the night. He then went on to say that he had to leave his house in Greater Kailash before the police came to get him. My husband, Virendra Kapoor, a journalist working for the Financial Express, asked him to come straight away to 520 Vithalbhai Patel (VP) House.
