Mohammad Abdullah, also called Abdulla or Abdullah, is known for killing John Paxton Norman, Chief Justice in the High Court at Fort William in Bengal.[1]

Assassination of Norman

Justice Norman was accused for giving harsh sentence to freedom fighters. This was the main reason for the assassination.[2][3]

In 1871, while Norman was coming down the steps of the Kolkata Town Hall, Abdullah, attacked him and stabbed him to death. He died on 21 September 1871.[4][5][6]
