Indian assassins

The Vishakanya ( ) were young women reportedly used as assassins, often against powerful enemies, in Ancient India. Their blood and bodily fluids were purportedly poisonous to other humans, as was mentioned in the ancient Indian treatise on statecraft, Arthashastra, written by Chanakya, an adviser and a prime minister to the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta (c. 340–293 BC).

Ilm Deen, also written as Alimuddin (4 December 1908 – 31 October 1929), was an Indian Muslim carpenter who assassinated a book publisher named Mahashe Rajpal Malhotra for publishing the book Rangila Rasul, which was deemed derogatory towards the Islamic prophet Muhammad by Muslims. He was executed for this crime.
