Bengal Volunteers

Subhas Chandra Bose organised a group of volunteers during the 1928 Kolkata session of Indian National Congress.^[1][2][3][4] The group was named Bengal Volunteers Corps and was under the leadership of Major Satya Gupta. Subhas Chandra Bose himself was the General officer commanding.^[5] After the Calcutta session of the Congress was over, the Bengal Volunteers continued its activities, under the guidance of Gupta,^[6] and was turned into an active revolutionary association.^[7]

The Bengal Volunteers decided to launch 'Operation Freedom' in the early 1930s, primarily to protest against the police repression in different jails in Bengal.^[8]
