Who among the following was NOT associated with the Kakori Conspiracy Case?
Explanation
The Kakori Conspiracy (or Kakori Train Action) was a train robbery executed on August 9, 1925, by members of the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA) near Lucknow [4]. The primary organizers and participants included Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan, and Rajendra Lahiri, all of whom were subsequently arrested and hanged for their involvement [3]. Other key participants included Chandrashekhar Azad and Sachindra Bakshi. Surya Sen, however, was not associated with this case. He was a prominent revolutionary leader based in Bengal, best known for leading the Chittagong Armoury Raid in 1930, which was a separate event from the HRA's activities in Northern India. While Bismil, Khan, and Lahiri were the faces of the Kakori trial, Surya Sen's revolutionary activities were centered in the eastern part of the country under the banner of the Indian Republican Army.
