Pramod Ranjan Choudhury (1904 – 28 September 1926) was a Bengali activist for the Indian independence movement who was hanged for the assassination of police officer Bhupen Chatterjee.[1]
Early life
Pramod Ranjan was born at Kelishahar,
British India. His father's name was Ishan Chandra Choudhury.[2]
Revolutionary activities
Choudhury joined the
non-cooperation movement. He was arrested at Dakshineswar for his connections with the Dakshineswar Conspiracy Case and sent to prison.[2][3] On 28 May 1926 Choudhury and other fellow revolutionary inmates killed Bhupen Chatterjee with an iron rod.
