Lohara Singh, son of Ram Singh, of Village Thetar, P. S. Barki, District Lahore. Left his village for Shanghai in 1909. Was formerly in the Shanghai Police and later on worked as a watchman in different capacities and then opened a liquor shop there. Was reported to be a firebrand and an active member of the Ghadr Party in Shanghai. He used to induce men to contribute subscriptions to the Ghadr cause and helped to harbor and support some of its most active and dangerous members in Nanking and was suspected of complicity in the murder of sub-inspector Hamam Singh in China. Was deported to India on 2nd August 1917 owing to his connection with the Ghadr movement along with his brother Tara Singh (T-4) with whom he lived there and from whose house Ghadr papers were recovered on search. Lohara Singh was released and restricted to his village in November 1919 with security of Rs. 2,000. The restriction order was cancelled in December 1919 under the Royal Amnesty. The following year he joined the Sikh movement along with his brother Tara Singh and was present at a noisy demonstration before the Deputy Commissioner’s Court on 15th December 1920. He took a prominent part in the seizure of the Manak Gurdwara in March 1921 and was personally responsible for the theft of a gun, revolver and some cartridges belonging to the Mahant, which had been disposed of. His brother Tara Singh absconded but he himself was arrested in connection with the seizure of Manak Gurdwara and sentenced to 7 years' rigorous imprisonment under Section 395, Indian Penal Code, and to 2 years' rigorous imprisonment under Section 452, Indian Penal Code (the sentences were to run consecutively) in the Manak Gurdwara Case on 17th September 1921. While Gurdwara prisoners were released conditionally in 1921 it was decided to show no clemency to Lohara Singh and Tara Singh. Lohara Singh was finally released on 4th June 1929. His long incarceration does not appear to have brought any change in him for on the 24th of June 1929 he led a jatha of 7 Sikhs to Hyderabad State in connection with the Hazoor Sahib Gurdwara affair but was prohibited from entering the Nizam's Dominions. Subsequently he was elected Vice President of the Shiromani Akali Dal. He continued to attend and speak at various diwans and Congress meetings after release and was sentenced to 1 year's simple imprisonment under Section 107/151, Criminal Procedure Code, on 24th June 1930, for his failure to furnish security. He associates with Nidhan Singh, Jathedar of Dulware, P. S. Amar Saidhu, and Mahna Singh of P. S. Kahna Kachha.
