HC Deb 11 November 1929 vol 231 c1497
7. Mr. THURTLE

asked the Secretary of State for India the nature of the charge which has recently been preferred against Mr. Subhas C. Bose, of Calcutta?

Mr. BENN

Mr. Bose and other persons have been prosecuted under Section 124a read with Section 120b of the Indian Penal Code for offences alleged to have been committed in connection with a procession on 11th August.

Mr. THURTLE

Does my right hon. Friend happen to know the nature of the events which occurred in connection with this procession?

Mr. BENN

I have read newspaper accounts, but I think it would be unwise to deal with the matter as it is not yet before the Courts.
