Q. Who among the following threw a bomb at the government benches in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi?
Answer: Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt
Notes: On 8 April 1929, Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt threw a bomb at the government benches in the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi, and raised slogans. There were no casualties—none were intended. As the smoke from the bombs had filled the Assembly, they could have escaped in the confusion had they so wished. Instead, they stayed shouting the slogan “Inquilab Zindabad!”, and threw leaflets. Both surrendered.
The bomb factories in Lahore and Saharanpur set up by HSRA were discovered in 1929, and many more members of HSRA including Sukhdev, Kishori Lal, Rajguru, and Jai Gopal were arrested. Saunders murder case was re-opened based on substantial evidence, and statements by their associates, Hans Raj Vohra and Jai Gopal.
