Who among the following were jailed in the Kanpur Bolshevik conspiracy case in 1924?

The Kanpur Bolshevik Conspiracy Case of 1924 was a significant legal action by the British government to suppress the growing influence of communist ideology in India. The British authorities were alarmed by the spread of socialism and the potential radicalization of the freedom movement [1]. In May 1924, the trial concluded with the conviction of four prominent communist leaders: Muzaffar Ahmad, Shripad Amrit Dange (S.A. Dange), Shaukat Usmani, and Nalini Gupta [1]. Although thirteen individuals were originally accused, including M.N. Roy and Singaravelu Chettiar, the final list of those sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment was reduced to these four individuals [1]. The trial served as a platform for communist propaganda, as the proceedings were widely reported in newspapers, thereby popularizing Marxist ideas among the Indian public [1].
