Bal Mukund was born in 1889 at the village Kariala, district Jhelum (now in Pakistan) he was the son of Bhai Mathura Das. A daring revolutionary, he was hailed from the family of the famous martyr of Sikh history, Bhai Mati Das. His interest in the national movement began while he was a student. The events of 1907 had a profound effect on him, and he became a fervent nationalist. He, on the other hand, did not agree with the moderates who dominated the Indian National Congress at the time and met members of a secret revolutionary party in Lahore. He became involved in the preparation and distribution of patriotic literature. On December 23, 1912, while Lord Hadinge was marching in Delhi's Chandni Chowk, a bomb was thrown on him, injuring the Viceroy and killing one of his attendants. Five months later, on May 17, 1913, a bomb exploded in Lahore's Lawrence Garden, outside Montgomery Hall. Bal Mukand's involvement in these two cases was revealed by the investigations that followed. Several people were arrested. Bat Mukand was arrested in 1914 in Jodhpur, where he was working as a tutor for the Maharaja of Jodhpur's sons. His room in Jodhpur and his house in Kariala were thoroughly searched, but nothing incriminating was discovered. Nonetheless, he was found guilty of complicity in both the bombings and the distribution of objectionable literature. On December 8, 1914, he was sentenced to death. On May 11, 1915, Bal Mukand was hanged in the Ambala Central Jail. At the time, he was only 32 years old.
