Question map
Who among the following was not associated with the Lahore conspiracy case?
Explanation
The Lahore Conspiracy Case (specifically the Second Lahore Conspiracy Case) was initiated following the murder of British police officer John Saunders in 1928. Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev were the primary accused in this case [2]. They were tried by a Special Tribunal and subsequently executed on March 23, 1931, in Lahore Central Jail [5][t1]. Other associates like Jatindra Nath Das were also part of this trial [1]. In contrast, Surya Sen, popularly known as 'Masterda', was a revolutionary leader based in Bengal. He was the mastermind behind the Chittagong Armoury Raid in April 1930 [t7]. Surya Sen was never associated with the Lahore Conspiracy Case; his activities were centered in the Chittagong region of undivided Bengal, leading to his own separate trial and execution in 1934. Therefore, Surya Sen is the correct answer as the individual not associated with the Lahore case.
