Captured by the British, he was charged with murder and met a brutal fate. On 17th/18th January 1872, he was blown to death by a cannon, a horrific punishment meant to crush the spirit of revolutionaries.

Let us remember Albel Singh and countless others who laid down their lives for India’s independence. Their bravery continues to inspire us today.
