Kakori Train Action

On 9 August 1925, members of the Hindustan Republican Association stopped a train near Kakori and seized government treasury money carried in the guard's compartment. The action was intended to finance revolutionary activity; the subsequent Kakori conspiracy prosecution led to executions, long prison sentences and a major crackdown on the HRA.
