Correct option is D
The correct answer is (d) Mohan Singh.
- Mohan Singh was not charged with waging war against the British Indian government.
- As the founder of the Indian National Army (INA), he helped form it, but unlike other leaders like Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, Shah Nawaz Khan, and Prem Kumar Sehgal, who faced charges of treason, he was not accused of waging war.
- He was arrested but released later as his involvement was primarily in the formation of INA, rather than direct combat actions.
Information Booster:
- The INA trials in 1945-46 were significant in the independence movement. Shah Nawaz Khan, Prem Kumar Sehgal, and Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon were charged and tried for their role in the INA's fight against the British.
- These trials sparked nationwide protests, which played a part in the growing demand for independence.
- These leaders were later acquitted due to public pressure, further strengthening the call for India's independence.
