Samma Singh, son of Khushal Singh, Sandhu, of Padhana, P. S. Barki, District Lahore. Was reported from various sources to have been a leader of the seditious element among the Hong Kong watchmen. Was one of those who got into trouble with Mewa Singh (M-31) because of seditious meetings at the Gurdwara. Is said to have been intimate with Mathra Singh (hanged in March 1917) and Bhagwan Singh (formerly prominent leader of the Ghadr Party), of village Viring, district Amritsar. Is mentioned in Hussain Khan's statement. Of his disloyalty there is no doubt. Hussain Khan (an approver in the Burma Conspiracy Case) of village Panjlasa, district Ambala stated that he delivered seditious lectures with Hira Singh (since dead) of village Charar, district Lahore. While in India he was known as a criminal of the worst type and he has at least three convictions. Was deported from Hong Kong. Arrived in India by the s. s. "Nam Sang" on 7th September 1915 and was arrested and interned. He was sent for trial in the Supplementary Conspiracy Case at Lahore but was acquitted. The Commissioners believed that the accusations against him in Hong Kong were very likely the outcome of enmity. He was released from internment in April 1918 and restricted to his village with security in May of the same year. The restrictions were cancelled in August 1918. After his release he appears to have made his way to Hong Kong but the exact date of his departure to and return from Hong Kong is not known. In September 1921 he was elected a member of a committee formed in Padhana to encourage the use of Khaddar. Lives at the village and is reported to be quiet. Works as an agent to a pleader and owns some landed property.
