Bipin Behari Ganguli
Bipin Behari Ganguli was an Indian freedom fighter born in Hoogli, now in West Bengal, in 1887. He was member of both Anushilan Samiti (Kolkata branch) and Jugantar group of revolutionaries. During World War I, Ganguly was actively involved in the Indo-German Plot, along with Bagha Jatin's Jugantar group. Reports indicate Ganguly was responsible for arranging the raids on the Calcutta gunstore Rodda & Co. which ultimately supplied the Bengal arm with a majority of arms used in political dacoities that funded the conspiracy for some time.[1]
Bipin Behari Ganguli joined the Congress party during the Non-Cooperation Movement and became the secretary of Bengal Congress in 1923.
After Indian independence he held a ministerial post in West Bengal government in the 1950s.
