In April 1908, Prafulla Chaki and Khudiram Bose attempted to assassinate Douglas Kingsford in Muzaffarpur. Kingsford was the District Judge at Muzaffarpur at that time. He had previously served as the Chief Presidency Magistrate in Calcutta and was known for handing down severe punishments to Indian nationalists and revolutionaries.

The revolutionaries mistakenly bombed a carriage carrying Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter, instead of Kingsford’s carriage. The ladies were killed in the attack. This incident led to the arrest of Khudiram Bose and Prafulla Chaki; Chaki committed suicide while resisting arrest, and Bose was tried and subsequently hanged.
