It was the room where Bhagat Singh was held in custody for a day during his court trail. The court has of course delivered a judgement that hanged him on 23rd march 1931. This room was later handed over to the Delhi University in 1933, which has maintained its sanctity. Till recently, the University has not allowed even the public to have peek into this historical place. But the present VC Yogesh Tyagi took an initiative to open it for the public.
Yesterday on the eve of Bhagat Singh’s martyrdom, the university has invited 100 school students from five schools for the first guided tour of the resource materials in the room. This room consisted of a cot used by Bhagat Singh and letters handwritten by him. The decision of VC has come at a time when Kanhaiya Kumar was being compared to Bhagat Singh. Now it for the public has to decide the validity of comparison.
