Question Asked : Uttrakhand UDA/LDA (Mains) 2007
When the British Government implemented an Act to suppress freedom struggle, it gave the British Police a free hand to carry out arrests without any permissions. In Older to protest against this Act, Bhagat Singh and his friends including Batukeshwar Datta carried out a plan to use low-intensity bomb inside the assembly hall on 8th April, 1929 and at the same time ensured that there were no deaths. Immediately after the bombing, Bhagat Singh, and his friends voluntarily surrendered and were taken to trial. They were charged with attempt to murder. In the meantime, the ongoing investigation of framing Bhagat Singh for the alleged murder of British officer in the post was hastened by the viceroy Irwin in 1930. Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev were sentenced to death in Lahore conspiracy case and the execution date was fixed to 24th March, 1931. The Congress and Gandhi made some attempts to save the lives but went in vain. On 17th March a telegram was sent to Home Department preparing the execution date to 23rd March and was hanged to death on 23rd March 1931. By listening to the news of hanging of these three, the whole of the country went into gloomy silence.
