Eden Hindu Hostel where a number of boarders were adherents of Jatindranath Mukherjee [[Bagha Jatin]]. Sushil came under the influence of Jatin. Though he had no intention to get involved in any political or revolutionary activities until he had completed his graduation, Sushil could not come to a decision. However, after an extensive thought on the matter for a week he decided to join the revolutionaries again. He left Eden Hindu Hostel and took up his residence with an orthodox family in Manicktala Street. Being a member of Jatindranath Mukherjee's group Sushil took an active role in the murder of Inspector Suresh Mukherjee on February 28, 1915. Sushil again appeared in May, 1915. A dacoity was committed by a group at Pragpur in Nadia District on April 30 and thereafter they came to village Khalilpur by boats. | |||

The Bengal revolutionaries were planning and carried out from Calcutta two heroic political dacoities in district Nadia at Pragpur and Shibpur. These dacoities were conceived and executed in the light of anticipated armed rising with German aid in coordination with Ghadr Party patriots. Apart from the idea of procuring money, the revolutionaries also had the idea of getting some training in guerrilla tactics. | |||
A group of revolutionaries of Jugantar Party conducted a raid in village Pragpur on 30 April 1915. They went by boat and committed dacoity in the shop of Harinath Saha in village Pragpur Police Station Daulatpur. Mouser pistols and a huge quantity of ammunition and safe-breaking implements were sent from Calcutta. Cash and ornaments to the value of Rs. 7000 were acquired. After the dacoity had taken place, the plan for returning to Calcutta misfired. Much of the journey had to be completed by boat. On the riverbank, they were attacked by the villagers and the police and an open fight took place. Sushil Sen was shot in both legs. An injured Sushil immediately asked his accompanying persons to first shot him then split his head from the body after his death and bury the body and head at different places to relieve them of the load of carcass as well as to make it difficult for the identification by Police. This was done accordingly and police was not able to trace any evidence in this matter till February, 1916. Thirteen people were arrested in this Pragpur Dacoity Case, including Ashutosh Lahiri, Gopendralal Roy, Kshitish Sanyal and Phani Bhusan Roy. Three of them were sentenced to expatriation for seventeen years each, while the fourth was sentenced to deportation for eight years. All the four were send off to the Andamans. | |||
