In July 1924 he was concerned in assisting Ranjit Singh Taj war, the notorious revolutionary who was then wanted by the Amritsar Police in his attempted flight to Shab-i-Kadr. He was tried in Peshawar and convicted under Section 212 I. P. C. Some time afterwards he was reported to have acted as an intermediary for Master Mota Singh (M-38). In 1930 he was connected with Gurmukh Singh (G-54) and Rattan Singh (R-36) and came into prominence in connection with the agitation for the release of six of his co-workers including his brother Sundar Singh who had been arrested by the Afghan authorities as undersirables. These persons belonged to Lalpura and were released after a few days. Bahadur Singh was in India in 1929-30 and appears to have made suspicious connections. He was present at an anti-British meeting held in Kabul on 1st November 1930. In 1931 he was reported to be employed at Dakka and to be acting as an intermediary between the Ghadrites in Kabul and the Russian Embassy and also as an agent of the Kirti Kisan Party.
