Marandi was born on 4 April 1922 at Beneedwar in a
Santali
Dinajpur to Mathius Marandi and Maria Kisku. They had a suspicion that freedom fighters might be given shelter in the mission. They searched and found nothing. Then they left the mission. The jeep came back again after three hours. They took Marandi out of the mission. He was killed by them by bayonet charge. His dead body was taken to the Catholic Church at Islampur in India and he was buried there. A memorial monument was built at Ruhea Mission to memorise him. A football competition is held every year at Beniduar Mission on 21 April in memory of him. A road on the southern quarters of
Dinajpur is named after Marandi.{{Cite Banglapedia|article=Marandi, Father Lucas ==References==
