Budh Singh, alias Hazara Singh, alias Hajara Singh, son of Gall Singh, of Sheron, P. S. Tam Tam, District Amritsar.

Prior to his departure he was connected with the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbhandak Committee. In 1924 he was in Mexico, and the Pacific Coast Khalsa Diwan applied on his behalf to the Consul-General at San Francisco for his entry into the U. S. A., representing him as a priest-designate of the Sikh Temple in Stockton, California. His passport No. 4430 issued at Lahore on the 1st December 1921, which was submitted for inpsection had obviously been mutilated with a view to deceiving the United States Consular Officials, and consequently the British Consular authorities were averse to recommending his entry into the U. S. A., nor would the U. S. Consular Officials grant him a visa for the purpose. At any rate he seems to have entered the U. S. A., under the false name of Hazara Singh, at some point on the Mexican border subsequent to January 1926.
