The Shanghai authorities deprecated his return to that place but he, however, mannaged to go back there by getting his Shanghai permit endorsed by the Bengal Government, and returned again to India on six months' leave in October 1926. The Shanghai authorities again urged the refusal of a passport to him on account of his being an undesirable character, but the Punjab Government in consultation with the Central Intelligence Bureau, decided to endorse his passport for his journey to Shanghai in March 1926.
