Comrade Virendra and Vinod were activists of the Students' Federation of India and were residents of the Baghaura Village of the Aurangabad District in Bihar. On the night of the 29th May 1987, in one of the most gruesome caste violence in the Baghura and Dalel Chowk villages of Aurangabad there was a mass massacre in which 46 people were killed. The innocent victims of this massacre included activists of the democratic movement and their families. Both Comrades Virendra and Vinod were unfortunate victims on that fateful night. Most of the deceased were of a very poor background and toiling people.
