The Peshawar Conspiracy Cases were a set of five legal cases which took place between 1922 and 1927 in British India.^[1]

The defendants in these cases had sneaked into British India from the Soviet Union to allegedly foment a proletarian revolution against British colonial rule. The colonial government feared that the defendants were entering India with the purpose of spreading socialist and communist ideas and supporting the emerging independence movement.^[2]

It was not the only case which became popular and galvanized the imagination of the young population of the Indian subcontinent, there were similar such cases. Among them, the Kanpur Bolshevik Case of May 1924 can be quoted as a substantiating case.^[3]
