Banwari Lal

Banwari Lal (Hindi: बनवारी लाल,  pronunciation ) was a participant in the Kakori train robbery who lived in Shahjahanpur, in the present-day state of Uttar Pradesh, India. He became an approver in the subsequent court case concerning that robbery.[1]

A member of the Hindustan Republican Association (later known as the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association), Banwari Lal was arrested from Raibareli, kept in the Lucknow jail and sentenced for five years imprisonment. After release from the jail he moved back to his native village Tilokpur in Shahjahanpur district.[2]
