After learning of the circumstance, the Europeans could get the alert out to troops, which the progressives had not anticipated.

The progressives left Chittagong town before first light and walked towards the Chittagong slope ranges, searching for a sheltered place to hide.

A bunch of the individuals including Ananta Singh, Ganesh Ghosh and the young people Jeebon Ghoshal and Ananda Gupta were somewhere else and nearly caught at Feni railroad station yet figured out how to get away from that particular scenario. Later they remained secluded from everything in a house in Chandannagar.
