Bhagwati was born in 1903 in the family of a senior railway officer named Shiv Charan Vohra who was conferred with the title of 'Rai Bahadur' by British Raj in 1919 for his services and loyalty.

[3] On 6 April 1928, Vohra and Bhagat Singh prepared the manifesto for the Naujwan Bharat Sabha and urged young Indians to have a triple motto of "service, suffering, sacrifice", as their sole guide to achieve the goal of independence.

Vohra was appointed as the Propaganda Secretary[citation needed] and prepared the HSRA manifesto that was widely distributed at the time of the Lahore Session of the Congress.

He planned and executed the 23 December 1929 bomb blast under the train of Viceroy Lord Irwin on the Delhi-Agra railway line.

The device was required for the proposed rescue of Singh and others under trial in the Lahore Conspiracy Case but it exploded during the test and he was severely wounded.

He was survived by his wife Durgawati Devi (popularly known as Durga Bhabhi to the revolutionaries) and a son, Sachindra Vohra.
