During 1896-97, there was an outbreak of plague in Pune. Marital law was
imposed. There was intense popular resentment against Mr.Rand, the
British Plague Commissioner due to his harsh measures for forcibly
evacuating the people.
An agitated Damodar Chapekhar and his two brothers, militant followers of Tilak, decided to take revenge. They killed Mr.Rand at night while he was returning from the Govt. House after participating in the 60th anniversary celebrations of Queen Victoria's Coronation, held on June 22, 1897.

brother, Vasudev, killed the informer, he and the remaining brother
Balkrishna, were also hanged. The Chapekar brothers were among the first
martyrs of India's Freedom Struggle.
