The conspiracy was for the stealing of valuable items and the stealing was of Rs 8,000. They believed that the money belonging to the British government will help them to buy weapons which will help them in future to fight for their freedom, but after a few days they all were caught by the British force and were hanged. After the final verdict of Kakori Trail: Ram Prasad Bismil, Thakur Roshan Singh, Rajendra Nath Lahiri and Ashfaqullah Khan were given death sentence and rest were given Kala Pani now it is known as Cellular Jail in Port Blair.
