Just when the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) revolutionaries had begun to move away from individual heroic action, the death of Sher-i-Punjab, Lala Lajpat Rai, due to lathi blows received during a lathi- charge on an anti-Simon Commission procession (October 1928) led them once again to take to individual assassination.
Bhagat Singh, Azad and Rajguru shot dead Saunders, the police official responsible for the lathi-charge in Lahore.
Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were tried in the Lahore Conspiracy Case.
Many other revolutionaries were tried in a series of other cases.
In jail, these revolutionaries protested against the horrible conditions through fasting, and demanded honourable and decent treatment as political prisoners. Jatin Das became the first martyr on the 64th day of his fast.
The defence of these young revolutionaries was organised by the Congress leaders. Bhagat Singh became a household name.
Azad was involved in a bid to blow up Viceroy Irwin’s train near Delhi in December 1929. During 1930, there were a series of violent actions in Punjab and towns of United Provinces (26 incidents in 1930 in Punjab alone).
Azad died in a police encounter in a park in Allahabad in February 1931. Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were hanged on March 23, 1931.
