The Chapekar Brothers (Damodar, Balkrishna, and Vasudeo) are remembered for assassinating a British official in response to injustices during the plague epidemic in which Indian city?
Pune
The Chapekar Brothers, Damodar, Balkrishna, and Vasudeo, were early revolutionaries in India's freedom struggle, active in Pune during the late nineteenth century.
They are remembered for assassinating W.C. Rand, the Plague Commissioner of Pune, in 1897, in response to the harsh and oppressive measures adopted by British officials during the plague epidemic that had struck the city.
Their action was rooted specifically in the events surrounding Pune's plague control operations, distinguishing it from unrelated events in other cities like Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai.
Hence, the answer is Pune.
