Early life
editBorn at Kanchanatala in Murshidabad, his father's name is Bhubanmohan Bagchi. He studied at Krishnath College, Bahrampur. Later, he studied at Bankipur College and Bhagalpur College in Patna. While studying at Krishnath College, Berhampore, he joined the revolutionary party of Jugantar. He went to Bankipur College and Bhagalpur College in Patna to avoid getting arrested by the police. He tried to provoke the ideas of freedom struggle among the soldiers of Danapur. He took shelter at Athgaon in Guwahati under the direction of the party. Here, on January 12, 1918, after an armed battle with the police, he and Satish Chandra Pakrashi crossed the police cordon and moved to the forest. He also repulsed another attack on Navagraha hill. Disguised as a Muslim, he reached Lumding station on foot, after seven days of starvation and insomnia. Later he came to Calcutta in a state of smallpox. One of his comrades, saw him lying on the ground and took care of him.

He was severely wounded in the exchange of fire and was arrested. His companion Tariniprasanna Majumdar, who was along with him, was shot dead. Nalini died at Mitford hospital, Dhaka on the same day. Despite police torture before his death, he did not mention his name. One policeman was killed and several others were injured in the fighting. His patron Chaitanya Dey(Aswinikumar Dey) was sentenced to ten years in prison.[1][2] A road in the town of Berhampore in Murshidabad and a bridge over the Berhampore-Jalangi state road are named in his memory.[3]
