(b) members of the Interim Government in 1946
(c) members of the Drafting Committee in the Constituent Assembly
(d) officers of the Indian National Army
Answer: (d)
Option (d) is correct: After the Second World War, the British captured about 23,000 Indian National Army soldiers and charged them with treason. The Red Fort became the venue for the trials of Indian National Army (INA) soldiers. These trials are popularly called the “Red Fort trials”. In November 1945, the first three senior
INA officials, Shah Nawaz Khan, Prem Kumar Sehgal and Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, were tried. It was asserted that they went against the British crown by siding with the Japanese and fighting against the British in the war.
