On all sides of Gahpur police station, the procession of people from all four directions had started joining. Kanaklata was leading the procession holding the tricolor flag in both hands.
The in-charge of the police station, Rebati Mohan Som, was already ready to take action against the revolutionaries’ movement. Mrityu Bahini’s caravan came close to Tay police station. The sky started echoing with the slogans of the people present in the procession. The in-charge of the police station, PM Som, stood in front to stop the procession and warned that if the procession went ahead, the result would not be good. Kanaklata said that their struggle is not with the police, they are just doing their duty. And the procession did not stop and the procession was fired upon by the police. The first bullet hit Kanaklata on the chest. The second bullet hit Mukund Kakoti, killing him instantly. Even after the death of these two, the barrage of bullets continued. But their sacrifice did not go in vain and finally the tricolor was hoisted at the police station. Similarly, many women born in Kayastha clan have done the work of awakening social consciousness.
