Solution

The correct option is B Captain Mohan Singh
The Second World War began in 1939, and the Japanese declared war against the Allies in 1941. After the fall of Singapore to Japan in 1942, a large number of Indian soldiers of the British army were captured by Japan as Indian Prisoners of War. However, Japan gave control of these Prisoners of War to Captain Mohan Singh of the 14th Punjab Regiment, who had earlier surrendered to Japan in Malaya.
