At the age of 18, Bose, and his friend Prafulla Chaki devised a plan to assassinate the judge. They threw a bomb at a carriage which they suspected was carrying him, however, they erroneously killed two women instead. The district magistrate escaped. The Britishers set out to nab Bose and Chaki after the attempt. However, Chaki shot himself before they could get to him. Khudiram Bose, was caught and put to trial. He was then hanged, at the young age of 18, for the attempt of assassination.
