Chandrashekar Prasad was an Indian student leader from Jawaharlal Nehru University, a president of its students' union and an activist of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation. He was shot dead on March 31, 1997 by sharpshooters allegedly in the employ of the notorious political strongman and former Rashtriya Janata Dal parliamentarian, Mohd. Shahabuddin while addressing street corner meetings in the north-Bihar district town of Siwan in support of a strike called by his party. His assassination led to large student protests in India.
He was born in Siwan, Bihar and had his schooling at Sainik School, Tilaiya from where he joined National Defence Academy (India) which he left soon after. He subsequently studied at Patna University before joining Jawaharlal Nehru University
