Prem Krishna Khanna
Indian revolutionary, Member of Parliament (1894–1993)
Prem Kishan Khanna (2 January 1894[2] – 3 August 1993) was an Indian freedom fighter and active member of the Hindustan Republican Association from Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Khanna worked as a contractor[3] for the Indian Railways and was a close associate of the noted revolutionary Ram Prasad Bismil.[4]
Khanna had a license to own a Mauser pistol, which was occasionally used by Bismil for his various revolutionary actions.
