Who provided legal defence to the people arrested in the aftermath of Chauri Chaura incident? [Modern History]

The correct option is Madan Mohan Malaviya and Krishna Kant.

Explanation:
The Chauri Chaura incident occurred on February 4, 1922, in the Gorakhpur district of the United Provinces (modern-day Uttar Pradesh), where a large group of protesters participating in the Non-Cooperation Movement clashed with police, who opened fire. In retaliation, the demonstrators attacked and set fire to a police station, killing all of its occupants. In the aftermath of this incident, the British colonial authorities arrested hundreds of people and put them on trial.

Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, along with other lawyers including Krishna Kant Malaviya, stepped forward to provide legal defense for the accused. Madan Mohan Malaviya's brilliant advocacy and legal defense in the Allahabad High Court successfully saved a large number of the accused from the gallows, securing the acquittal of 151 people out of those sentenced to death by the sessions court.
