execution at age 23 made him a folk hero of the Indian movement.
In December 1928, Bhagat Singh and an associate, Shivaram Rajguru, fatally shot a 21-
year-old British police officer, John Saunders, in Lahore, British India, mistaking Saunders, who was
still on probation, for the British police superintendent, James Scott, whom they had intended to
assassinate.
