2. VD Savarkar
3. Aurobindo Ghosh
4. Kalpana Datta

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Kalpana Datta

The correct answer is Kalpana Datta.

• The Chittagong armoury raid took place on 18 April 1930 and was an attempt at raiding the armoury of police and auxiliary forces, led by freedom fighter Surya Sen.
• The volunteers he gathered were part of a revolutionary group of nationalists who believed in using force to fight the British.
• The original plan was to capture two armouries in Chittagong, subsequently destroying the telegraph and telephone office.
• The group would then take hostages from the European Club, as most of its members were involved in the colonial government in some form.
• Amongst these volunteers were two incredible women: Pritilata Waddedar and Kalpana Datta.
