Shivaram Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar.

Kakori case

Bhagat Singh’s Bomb Throwing

The image that comes to our mind at the very mention of Bhagat Singh’s name is that of the
bomb he threw in the Central Legislative Assembly on April 8, 1929. The bombs did not kill
anybody. It was intended as a demonstrative action, an act of protest against the draconian
laws of the British. They chose the day on which the Trade Disputes Bill, an anti-labour
legislation was introduced in the assembly.
