The Homfreyganj massacre was a massacre of suspected spies during World War II in the occupied Andaman Islands.
On January 30, 1944, 44 Indian civilians, suspected of spying, were put to death by the Japanese.[1] They were all shot dead at point-blank range. The majority of the victims were members of the Indian Independence League.[2]
At the time of the massacre, the Andaman Islands were technically under Azad Hind control, although in fact, the Japanese were very much in charge. Despite the lack of practical authority, the Azad Hind government was often accused of "failing its people".[3]
