Khudiram along with Prafulla Chaki threw a bomb to assassinate the British Judge, Magistrate Kingsford thinking that he was in the car. Magistrate Kingsford was in another car, which resulted in the death of two British women, Mrs. Kennedy, and her daughter. Praful Chaki committed suicide before arrest. Khudiram was arrested. He was tried for the murders of two women and ultimately sentenced to death. Khudiram was 18 years, 7 months, and 11 days old at the time of his execution, making him India's youngest Indian revolutionary.
