Who was sentenced to death and subsequently executed for his role in the Muzaffarpur Conspiracy Case?

Verified Answer
A. Benoy Basu
B. Jatindranath Bose
C. Khudiram Bose
D. Rash Bihari Bose

Explanation:

Khudiram Bose was a young Indian revolutionary who, along with Prafulla Chaki, attempted to assassinate Magistrate Douglas Kingsford in Muzaffarpur in 1908. Though the attempt failed, killing two innocent British women, Bose was arrested, tried, and subsequently hanged on August 11, 1908, becoming one of the youngest martyrs of the Indian freedom struggle. Benoy Basu was involved in the Writers' Building attack (1930). Jatindranath Bose is not a widely recognized figure for this case. Rash Bihari Bose was involved in the Delhi Conspiracy Case and escaped to Japan.
