After being in America for about 10/12 years he was reported to have returned to India about the beginning of 1924. In 1927 he was elected a member of the Desh Bhagat Qaidi Parwar Sahaik Committee (Committee for the relief of the families of political prisoners). In April 1927 Bhag Singh' Canadian (B-47) tried to smuggle him via Afghanistan and China to Russia with a forged passport for military training there, but the attempt does not seem to have materialized. In December 1927 he applied for a passport to the Fiji Islands, which was refused on account of his seditious record. He was reported to have been concerned in all anti-Government activities of the Doaba extremists and in 1928 was an active worker of the Kirti group. He was in close touch with the Kabul Sikhs and it was thought possible that he might smuggle himself to Afghanistan.
