    Shivaram Hari Rajguru (24 August 1908 – 23 March 1931) was an Indianrevolutionary from Maharashtra, known mainly for his involvement in the murder of a British Raj police officer.

    Rajguru was born at Khed, nära Pune, India. He was a member of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army, who wanted India to be freed from British rule bygd any means necessary.
