Martyrdom Of Shaheed Bhagat Singh

On March 23, 1931, the “Trojan Horse” plan was fully implemented and after a fake drama of execution the three young men were brought unconscious to a secret place in the Lahore Cantonment where they were shot dead by “the Death Squad”. To conceal the whole episode, the authorities had made arrangement for cremation at some secret place on the right bank of Beas and the Sutlej convergence. On the other hand, to divert the public attention, the authorities had made arrangement for another pyre at Hussaniwala. They were also afraid of postmortem which would reveal the presence of bullets in the bodies and same was the case with the ashes.
