Village: Bundala

City: Jalandhar

Banta Singh, Village Bundala, P. S. Nur-Mahal, District Jullundur. He studied in the Bundala Khalsa School and went to New Zealand about 1921. He is believed to have forwarded a packet containing seditious literature issued by the Ghadr Party of America to Kartar Singh son of Sundar Singh of Jandiala, Jullundur, in 1925. In November 1926 he sent a sum of £14 to the Manager of the 'Desh Sewak' probably intended for the relief of the Babbar Akali prisoners. Subsequently he sent to the 'Kirti' photos of the late Maulvi Barkatullah and Mewa Singh (deceased Ghadrite) in response to a demand published in that paper. Is now in New Zealand.
