Which of the following statements about the Chittagong group is NOT correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The statement that Surya Sen was a lawyer in Dhaka is incorrect. Surya Sen, popularly known as 'Master-da', was a teacher by profession. He taught at the National School in Nandan-Kanan and later joined the Umatara School in Chandanpura, Chittagong. Regarding the other options, the Chittagong group (Indian Republican Army) indeed included youth like Ganesh Ghosh, Lokenath Baul, and Anant Singh [2]. Surya Sen was deeply involved with the Indian National Congress, serving as the Secretary and later President of the Chittagong District Congress Committee [2]. The group meticulously prepared an action plan to occupy two main armouries in Chittagong, disrupt telegraph and telephone communications, and isolate the region by cutting railway links, which they executed on April 18, 1930 [2].
