Explanation
Shah Nawaz Khan, Prem Kumar Sehgal, and Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon are historically remembered as three prominent officers of the Indian National Army (INA). They, along with Colonel P.K. Sahgal, Colonel G.S. Dhillon, and Major General Shah Nawaz Khan, were put on trial by the British colonial authorities at the Red Fort in Delhi in November 1945.
