Who among the following was NOT associated with the Kanpur Conspiracy Case of 1924?

A Muzaffar Ahmed
B Nalini Gupta
C Shaukat Usmani
D M.A. Ansari

Correct answer: (d) M.A. Ansari

Explanation

  1. A

    Muzaffar Ahmed

    Muzaffar Ahmed was associated with the Kanpur Conspiracy Case of 1924, an early communist trial. He is therefore not the person who was NOT associated. This option is not the key.

  2. B

    Nalini Gupta

    Nalini Gupta was among those linked to the same 1924 Kanpur (Bolshevik) conspiracy case. This option is therefore wrong as the “NOT associated” answer.

  3. C

    Shaukat Usmani

    Shaukat Usmani was an accused in the Kanpur Conspiracy Case of 1924. This option is not the key.

  4. D

    M.A. Ansari

    M.A. Ansari is the official key because he was NOT associated with the Kanpur Conspiracy Case of 1924. Dr M.A. Ansari was a nationalist leader, Congress President and a prominent figure of the Khilafat–Non-Cooperation years, not an accused in that communist conspiracy trial. The three other names were. Hence (d) is correct.

Summary. Official key is (d) M.A. Ansari. The 1924 Kanpur Conspiracy Case targeted early communist organisers such as Muzaffar Ahmed, Shaukat Usmani, Nalini Gupta and S.A. Dange. Ansari’s public career lay in Congress and Khilafat politics, not in that dock. The question asks who was not involved. Only (d) is correct.
