Hemchandra returned to Calcutta to his comrades Barin Ghose and Aurobindo Ghose, and began utilizing the manual for manufacturing bombs across Bengal. Their activity led to the famous Alipore Bomb Case, or the 'Maniktala Bomb Conspiracy'.

It was masterminded by Aurobindo Ghose, his brother Barin Ghose and many young revolutionaries of the secret society Anushilan Samiti. (5/n)

A 19-year-old Bengali member of the society, Khudiram threw a bomb into a carriage carrying two Englishwomen, mistaking it to be that of Calcutta magistrate Douglas Kingsford. Khudiram was later hanged. (6/n)

The copy of bomb manual brought by Mr. Bapat and draft of violent esaay praising various Bengal revolutionaries was found in Babarao's(Savarkar 's elder brother) house in a search conducted by British in 1909.

And there is no direct evidence of Khudiram Bose being inspired by Savarkar as in the case of Bhagat Singh, whose literature works proves the fact. Revolutionary activities are connected, and the question is whether you can give the 'inspiration' angle to it ?? (8/8)
