Answer 1

Answer: (D)

For attempting to murder Kingsfords, the Chief Presidency Magistrate at Muzaffarpur, who had ordered severe flogging to some young men for minor offences

Khudiram Bose was a freedom fighter, who was one of the youngest revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement. Khudiram and Prafulla Chaki were sent to Muzaffarpur, Bihar to assassinate Kingsford, the Calcutta Presidency Magistrate, and later, magistrate of Muzaffarpur, Bihar. He was sentenced to death for bombing which resulted in the deaths of 3 unrelated innocents: Mrs Kennedy, her daughter and a servant.
