When a vehicle came out of the gate, they threw bombs and blew up the carriage. However, the vehicle was not carrying Kingsford, rather two British ladies - Mrs. and Miss Kennedy were killed. The revolutionaries fled. Prafulla chaki and Khudiram bose decided for separate routes for escape. Prafulla took disguise and boarded train to Kolkata.
