Rajinder Kumar Dhawan (July 16, 1937 – August 6, 2018) was an Indian politician who was one of the leaders of the Indian National Congress and a member of the Rajya Sabha.


As personal secretary and confidante to Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Dhawan was a witness to Indira Gandhi assassination in 1984. As personal assistant to the Prime Minister, he attained unparalleled power and influence particularly during India's Emergency. As the "door keeper" to the Prime Minister, he was well positioned to control information and access and proved himself instrumental in civil service appointments. He graduated from Punjab University.


The head of the investigating commission, Justice Manharlal Pranlal Thakkar, described Dhawan's responses to questioning on the assassination as unreliable and said that the needle of suspicion significantly points to his complicity or involvement.[3] However, Indira's son, Rajiv, after initially removing Dhawan from his post, cleared him of all charges.


Dhawan died, aged 81, in Delhi on 6 August 2018.[4]
