September 1914, he was actively engaged in the revolution and was said
to have been in the Ferozepore raid. He was sent for trial in the

searched and some papers and subscription lists of the Vancouver
Gurdwara were found which led to his arrest, but he was subsequently
released. He was kept under surveillance in 1917. He recruited Akalis for

1925. He was the Manager of the defunct "Asli Quami Dard" of Amritsar
