Mohan Lal was born in [[Raebareli]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], on 12 October 1912. His father was Prayag Datt Verma, a prosperous landlord, and his mother was Raj Rani Verma. The family migrated to [[Hardoi]] after a few years of his birth but within a few years of moving to Hardoi, Mohan Lal&amp;#039;s father died.  Due to the local traditions of th time, women were not allowed to move out of their houses, hence his mother could not manage their properties and businesses, and a number of them were lost. In spite of his family&amp;#039;s hardships, Mohan Lal continued to support his mother as a young child.&lt;br /&gt;

In his early childhood, Verma realised  India was ruled by the British and he wanted to see his country freed from [[colonialism]]. When he was in 9th grade, he left home to join the freedom movement led by [[Mahatma Gandhi]]. His family was worried about him as they knew the consequences of getting captured by the British. Verma played a key role in mobilising  the people of Hardoi and neighbouring towns to join the movement. He was appointed as Head of [[Seva Dal|Congress Seva Dal]] in 1932 for Hardoi district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1930, Gandhi launched the [[Salt March|Salt Satyagraha]] and 5 May 1930, he was arrested at Karadi near Dandi for violating the [[Salt Law]], section 144 was imposed in the country. Verma led the protest against Gandhi&amp;#039;s arrest in Hardoi and was taken in custody along with five of his colleagues. All five, except Verma, apologised in writing to the British Government. As a result of his defiance, Verma was sentenced to four months in jail. He was again sent to jail by the British in 1932 for six months, and served another 15-month jail term in 1940 for his role in India&amp;#039;s Independence Movement, during this period he was jailed in Hardoi and [[Budaun|Badaun]] jails. In 1942, when Mahatma Gandhi launched the [[Quit India Movement]], Verma promptly joined the movement and offered his arrest as symbol of support. The British sent him to [[Bareilly]] jail for 15 months including a period of house arrest for participating in the movement&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Voice&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jagran&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
