==Early life==
Kanailal belonged to a very poor family of [[Majilpur]] in [[South 24 Parganas|South 24 Parganas District]] in present-day [[West Bengal]].<ref name = "Bose73">Sengupta, Subodh Chandra and Bose, Anjali (editors), (1976), ''Samsad Bangali Charitabhidhan'' (Biographical dictionary), {{in lang|bn}}, p 73</ref> He was born to Nagendranath Bhattacharya. He joined freedom revolution movement when he was very young. He came in contact with revolutionaries like Sunil Chatterjee, [[Satkari Bandyopadhyay]], Bhutnath Bhattachatyya and soon he became a fighter of revolution movement.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://radhikaranjan.blogspot.com/2013/09/blog-post.html|title=MARXIST INDIANA: 134. Kanailal Bhattacharya (1909-27.7.1931)|first=Radhikaranjan|last=Samadder|date=18 September 2013}}</ref> He was a student of Majilpur J. M. Training School.

==Killing R. R. Galik==
Kanailal Bhattacharya killed R. R. Galik (born 1876), a judge of the [[Alipore]] court, on 27 July 1931.

Judge Galik sentenced [[Dinesh Gupta]] and [[Ramakrishna Biswas]], two [[Revolutionary movement for Indian independence|Indian revolutionaries]], to death by hanging for the murder of Col. N.S. Simpson. Kanailal sought to avenge the death of Dinesh by shooting the judge that sentenced him. During the assassination, Kanailal was shot by a guard sergeant.

A piece of paper was found in his pocket that read "Your death is your reward for hanging Dinesh Gupta". Kanailal carried out the assassination under alias [[Bimal Dasgupta]], who was at the time, a fugitive accused by the British in the murder of District Magistrate Pedi of [[Midnapore]]. During the identification, Kanailal's mother, Katyoni Devi denied his body as her son. Kanailal was a member of the Bengal Volunteers Team.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Sahitya |last=Sangsad |isbn=978-81-7955-135-6|title=''সংসদ বাঙালি চরিতাভিধান''|publisher=Subodh Sen, Anjali Basu|year=2013|page=117}}</ref><ref name="auto" /><ref>{{cite book|last1=Dey|first1=Soilish |title=''মৃত্যুর চেয়ে বড়''|publisher= Biswabani Prakasani|page=171}}</ref>

==Social reflections==
In fond of the memory of Bhattacharya, the "Alipur Bekar Road" was renamed "Biplabi Kanailal Bhattacharya Road". A road in [[Majilpur]] carries his name as well. A bronze statue in his image can be found in Dutta Bazar of [[Majilpur]] near his ancestor's house.<ref name="auto"/>
