He was in correspondence with the "Kirti" newspaper of Amritsar in July 1926 and was also believed to have been in communication with Mahendra Partap in that year. He attended the seditious meeting held at the house of Dasaundha Singh Mann (D-16) in Chapei at which plans were discussed for the assassination of British officers. He was arrested for being concerned in the plot which led to the assassination of Sirdar Sahib Budha Singh on 6th April 1927 but was discharged owing to the insufficiency of the evidence against him. He organized a meeting of disaffected Sikhs, held on 14th August 1927 in Jessfield Park, Shanghai in which resolutions were passed for the reception of the "Young Revolutionaries" who were then expected from Hankow and for the resumption of the publication of the "Hind Jagawa". He pointed out that it was the duty of all members of the Sikh community to prepare the field for revolution. He was in close touch with Pritam. Singh of Dhand Kasel (P-29), then leader ofthe Ghadr Party in Hankow, during the latter's visit to Shanghai in September 1927, with Charan Singh of Duleta (C-15), and was known to be in correspondence with revolutionary Sikhs in Hankow, the Punjab and California.

He is known to have been in communication with the Parbhandak Committee, Amritsar, regarding the dispatch of Kharak Singh's deputation to Shanghai. Since the arrest and conviction of Gajjan Singh (G-3) he took the lead of the Indian seditionist party in Shanghai, and was a communist and a sympathizer of the Kirti movement in China. In March 1928 he wrote an anti-Government letter to the Editor of the "Kirpan Bahadur" sympathizing with the ex-Maharaja of Nabha. He was arrested on 6th May 1929 and after two months' imprisonment was deported to India on 27th July. He arrived at Calcutta on 20th August 1929 and was kept under Police surveillance till 1930. He is one of the four Sikhs whose photographs were sent by the "Kirti" of Amritsar for reproduction in the official organ of the Communist Party of Great Britain and about whom it was noted therein that they were big communists and determined men who could handle arms. He is undoubtedly an active revolutionary and requires careful watching. He has political leanings and is still at his home.
