Mitra was born in Raspur village, Amta, Howrah district. He was popularly known as Habu Mitra.[1] He joined in Anushilan Samiti and entered in British gun maker Rodda Company as an employee. Mitra was aware of a major consignment of arms and ammunition being shipped to the Company in August 1914 and planned to loot the arms for revolutionaries.[2] On 26 August, he headed to the Customs house in Kolkata to receive the shipment on behalf of Rodda & Co. With him were seven Bullock carts. Haridas Dutta, a member of Jugantar was dressed as the cart-driver for one of the carts Mitra took with him. Total of 202 boxes received by Mitra, Srishh Pal and Khagendra Nath Das assisted him to reach those ammunition towards Mononga Lane via Mission row.[3][4] British police described that Mitra was the mastermind of the Rodda company arms heist. The Statesman, in its edition on 30 August 1914 described the heist as 'The greatest daylight robbery'.[5]
