Alipore Bomb Conspiracy Case (1908)
The history of revolutionary terrorism in Bengal starts in 1902 with the establishment of numerous secret organisations. The Anushilan Samity of Calcutta, established by Jatindernath Banerjee and Barindarkumar Ghose, was the most famous of them all. The Anushilan Samiti’s rebel actions were the target of the Alipore conspiracy case.
Key Points
- Also called Muraripukur conspiracy or Manicktolla bomb conspiracy.

- Unfortunately, the carriage at which the bomb was targeted contained two English ladies and not Kingsford. The two women died in the attack.
- Revolutionaries who threw the bomb were Prafulla Chaki and Khudiram Bose.
- Chaki committed suicide while Bose, then only 18 years of age, was caught and sentenced to death by hanging.
- The other people who were tried in the case were Aurobindo Ghosh and his brother Barin Ghosh, Kanailal Dutt, Satyendranath Bose and more than 30 others.
- They were all members of the Anushilan Samiti in Calcutta.
