During the 1942 national movement, Krishna Kumar was a student in the seventh grade. All the teachers at Bewar Middle School were very fond of Krishna Kumar because he was unmatched in sports and antakshari (a game of reciting verses). Moreover, Krishna Kumar was always cheerful, smiling, humble, and the epitome of good manners. Among the teachers, Shri Ramadheen Pandey had a special affection for Krishna Kumar. Pandit ji always encouraged Krishna Kumar in various ways. Krishna Kumar drew inspiration to sacrifice his life for the country from his teacher, Shri Ramadheen Pandey, during the August Movement.

On August 15, 1942, Krishna Kumar declared among his fellow students that he was not prepared to give up his only weapon – his stick. Following in the footsteps of the country’s immortal revolutionaries, Krishna Kumar had somehow managed to acquire a pistol, which he intended to use in the national freedom struggle. However, at the crucial moment, someone stole it, and during the confrontation with the police, he was left desperately searching for his weapon.

The brave Krishna Kumar, a symbol of youthful sacrifice, advanced fearlessly and, during the Beawar firing incident, amidst a hail of bullets, he smilingly embraced death, taking five hot bullets from the British regime, thus joining the ranks of the immortal martyrs.
