Bachint Singh, son of Bhagwan Singh, Jat, of Bundala, P. S. Nurmahal,
District Jullundur. He was sentenced to 9 Months' imprisonment under
Section 457, of the Indian Penal Code, in 1905. Subsequently he went to
Canada whence he returned by the s.s. "Tenyo Maru", and the s.s.
"Australien" in December 1914. He was reported to be a dangerous
leader of the Ghadr Party in the Province, and a warrant for his arrest was
issued, but in the meanwhile he was arrested under Section 399, Indian
Penal Code for complicity in the Kartarpur dacoity, and sentenced to 7
years imprisonment. He was finally acquitted by the Chief Court in this
case, but was subsequently prosecuted under Section 126 of the Railway
Act, and sentenced to 7 years' imprisonment. He took part in the Akali
agitation and was convicted in connection with the Guru-ka-Bagh affair in
1922. Later on he went to live in Calcutta, and in 1923 applied for a
passport to Mexico for the ostensible purpose of taking up cultivation, but
in view of his past record his request was not granted. He is reported,
however, to have managed to get to the Argentine somehow, without a
passport, and has been there for the last 7 or 8 years. He is a man of
political bent of mind and is a dangerous person. He corresponds from
the Argentine with his brother Bawa Singh who lives in Bundala.
