Solution

Khudiram Bose was a Bengali-Indian revolutionary who attained martyrdom by going against British rule. He was a member of the Anushilan Samiti, a revolutionary group in erstwhile Bengal that opposed the British rule in India through armed revolts and guerrilla tactics. Under their aegis, Khudiram Bose, along with Prafulla Chaki, planned to kill a judge named Kingsford in 1908 because of his tyrannical nature and biased judgements. But they failed in their endeavour, as they had targeted the wrong coach, resulting in the murder of two English women. While Prafulla Chaki killed himself with a bullet to escape the authorities, Khudiram Bose was caught, tried, and hanged for his actions.
