Correct Answer:

Bhagat Singh

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Bhagat Singh

Bhagat Singh and Shivaram Rajguru were accused in the murder of Saunders in 1928.

Saunders was a British police officer who was involved in the lathi charge that led to the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, a prominent Indian nationalist leader. Bhagat Singh and Rajguru assassinated Saunders in retaliation for Rai's death.

Bhagat Singh and Rajguru were both arrested and sentenced to death for the murder of Saunders. They were executed on March 23, 1931.

Bhagat Singh and Rajguru are considered to be martyrs of the Indian independence movement. Their sacrifice inspired millions of Indians to fight for freedom.
