On 27th February 1931, Chandra Shekhar,Azad Yash Pal and Surendra Pandey met at Allahabad to finalize their departure to Russia in the morning. The same day, Chandra Shekhar Azad reached Alfred Park at Allahabad to meet revolutionary SukhDev. When he was talking to SukhDev under a tree in the park, the British police reached there on the tip of some informer. Police commander asked them to surrender.
Chandra Shekhar Azad helped SukhDev to escape. Chandra Shekhar Azad continued to return the police firing, but when he realized that his pistol was getting rapidly exhausted of the bullets and only one bullet was left, he preferred to end his life rather than to be killed by the enemy’s bullet. Then he himself ended his life with his own bullet. Chandra Shekhar Azad had vowed, “We will face the enemy’s bullets. We have lived free and shall always live free”. Thus, Azad stuck to his vow up to the last breath of his life.
