Who among the following was NOT associated with the Kanpur Conspiracy Case of 1924 ?
Explanation
The Kanpur Bolshevik Conspiracy Case (1924) was a criminal trial initiated by the British government against early communist leaders in India. The British authorities were alarmed by the spread of communist ideology and charged several individuals with conspiring to overthrow the King-Emperor's sovereignty over India through a violent revolution.
The primary individuals arrested and convicted in this case were Muzaffar Ahmed, Shaukat Usmani, Nalini Gupta, and S.A. Dange. They were each sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment. Other names associated with the case included M.N. Roy (in absentia) and Singaravelu Chettiar.
M.A. Ansari (Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari) was a prominent nationalist leader, a former President of the Indian National Congress (1927), and a leader of the Khilafat Movement. He was not associated with the communist movement or the Kanpur Conspiracy Case.
