"Nam Sang" in January 1915, and explained that they had gone over from Canada in search of work, and had been detained for illegal entry. Three of them were arrested in Calcutta and interned and two more were convicted in the Lahore Conspiracy Case. The party was obviously a Ghadr gang. Sundar Singh was reported by the Ferozepore Committee to be dangerous. He was released and restricted to his village in June 1916. Thereafter he cultivated his land and was reported to have been inactive, though he held Akali views. Four or five years ago he went to China. Nothing is known of his present whereabouts.
