His conduct first came to notice unfavorably sometime in 1913 when he was staying in French Chandemagore on leave and was associating with local suspects.

While carrying bombs to affect the murder of the Viceroy and the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab at Lahore, his right hand was injured by the explosion of a bomb. A reward of Rs. 7,500 was offered for his arrest. He was in Lahore at the time of the search of the headquarters of the Ghadr Party and for some time subsequently wandered in the Punjab and then absconded to Japan in 1915, whence he has since been carrying on anti-British propaganda and has been in touch with the Bolsheviks in Afghanistan and with Mahendra Partap and Ottama Bhikku, the well- known revolutionaries. He was also in touch with M. N. Roy, the well- known Communist, now in jail. Is one of the most dangerous of Indian revolutionists. Still carries on machinations with Bengal revolutionists.
