rdf:langString Chittapriya Ray Chaudhuri (2 July 1894 – 9 September 1915) was a Bengali revolutionary and member of the Indian independence movement.Martyred at the age of twenty years, Chittapriya Roychaudhuri (1894 -1915), son of Panchanan Roychaudhuri, was born in the Khalia landlord family in the Madaripur subdivision of Faridpur district in undivided Bengal. His father, who passed the Entrance examination in the first year of his introduction to Calcutta University, was a teacher and an Honorary Magistrate. Well-built, Chittapriya was known for his daredevilry. In Madaripur, Chittapriya with his friends Manoranjan Sengupta and Nirendranath Dasgupta joined the secret society of Purna Das. They took part in swadeshi dacoities led by him; were arrested and all were tried in the Faridpur Conspiracy Case (1913); but were released, after a few months of imprisonment, since the police failed to establish their allegations before the court. In 1914, Purna Das accepted Bagha Jatin’s revolutionary line of a united armed assault on the British with arms support from Germany. From Faridpur, he sent his best boys, Chittapriya, Manoranjan, and Nirendranath to him. Within a month, Chittapriya and his friends assassinated two police officers and raised a large sum of money through dacoity in the Beleghata rice market.
