About this person
Jayakrushna Rajaguru Mohapatra, popularly known as Jayee Rajaguru or Jayi Rajaguru, was a prominent rebel against the British East India Company in the modern Indian state of Odisha. A princely-priest by profession at the court of the Khurda kingdom, Rajaguru revolted against the East India Company in the province. Whilst collaborating with the Marathas to recapture the British-controlled province, a Maratha messenger was caught by the East India Company and Rajaguru's secret strategies were exposed. Upon the failure of his removal from the king's court, a Company force attacked the fort of Khurda and captured Rajaguru. He was later sentenced to death and hanged in Baghitota, Midnapore.
