Kanailal Bhattacharya killed R. R. Galik (born 1876), a judge of the Alipore court, on 27 July 1931. Judge Galik sentenced Dinesh Gupta and Ramakrishna Biswas, two Indian revolutionaries, to death by hanging for the murder of Col. N.S. Simpson. Kanailal sought to avenge the death of Dinesh by shooting the judge that sentenced him. During the assassination, Kanailal was shot by a guard sergeant. A piece of paper was found in his pocket that read "Your death is your reward for hanging Dinesh Gupta". Kanailal carried out the assassination under alias Bimal Dasgupta, who was at the time, a fugitive accused by the British in the murder of District Magistrate Pedi of Midnapore. During the identification, Kanailal's mother, Katyoni Devi denied his body as her son. Kanailal was a member of the Bengal Volunteers Team. Social reflections
In fond of the memory of Bhattacharya, the "Alipur Bekar Road" was renamed "Biplabi Kanailal Bhattacharya Road". A road in Majilpur carries his name as well. A bronze statue in his image can be found in Dutta Bazar of Majilpur near his ancestor's house.
