Bhupal Chandra Basu

Nothing is known about his parentage and his early life besides his birth in Dhaka, where he came under the influence of Anil Roy, the nationalist intellectual who founded the Shree Samgha of Dhaka.

A contemporary of Dr. Naren Roy in the Calcutta Medical College, Dr. Basu (1902 -1981) was also in the nationalist group of the renowned medical practitioner of Calcutta, Dr. Amiya Kumar Basu, and was known to Bhupendranath Datta. But, unlike Dr. Naren Roy, Bhupal Basu’s direct involvement in bomb manufacturing is not known but he was very close to him.
