Explanation
The Barrah dacoity took place in June 1908 in the Dacca district of East Bengal. It was organized by the Dacca Anushilan Samiti under the leadership of Pulin Behari Das. The objective of this revolutionary act was to raise funds for purchasing arms and financing the activities of the freedom movement. Since it was executed by the Bengal based revolutionaries in the Dacca region, East Bengal is the correct location.
