Gajjan Singh, son of Rattan Singh, of Gobindgarh, District Ludhiana. He went to Shanghai in 1919 and was a teacher in a school until 1923, when he was asked to resign his appointment on account of his advanced political views. He subsequently took up the editorship of the "Hind Jagawa" a thoroughly seditious newspaper, and was prosecuted in March 1925 and bound over for future good behavior. He then became Secretary of the local Khalsa Diwan. Early in 1927 he was reported to have paid several visits to the Soviet Consulate of Shanghai. He was strongly suspected of complicity in the murder of Inspector Budha Singh of the Shanghai Police. He was one of the accomplices of Dasaundha Singh Mann (D-16) who had received instructions from the Ghadar Party in America and from Moscow, to co-operate with M. N. Roy, the notorious Indian Communist, and spread disaffection among the Indians in China, and tamper with the loyalty of the Police and the Indian troops stationed at Shanghai. He joined Dasaundha Singh in his efforts to persuade Indian soldiers to desert to the Hankow Government with a view to their training and subsequent employment by Moscow in Soviet schemes directed against India. Leanets of a highly seditious nature were distributed by him at meetings of the local Sikhs. He was arrested along with Dasaundha Singh and Gainda Singh (G-l) in Chapei on the 5th May 1927 and sentenced to one year's imprisonment and subsequent deportation. He was deported from Shanghai on 3rd March 1928 and on arrival at Calcutta, was interned in the Midnapore jail under Regulation III of 1818 and subsequently transferred to the Ludhiana jail from were he was released in June 1929. In 1929 he interested himself in the Kirti movement and endeavored with others of the party for the formation of a "peasants' and Workers' Party". He claimed credit for the Khalsa College bomb outrage. On the 9th of July 1930 he was sentenced to 3 months' R. I. under Section 17(1) of the C.L.A. for participating in political agitation. In April 1931 he was in Karachi, and it was suspected that his activities in Sind were calculated to promote the interests of the Kirti Kisan Party. Early in 1932 he was employed on the Sukkur Barrage. In February 1932 his movements were restricted to Nawabshah for a period of one month which was subsequently extended indefinitely. Throughout this period he was closely connected with Dasaundha Singh and other Kirti Kisan leaders. In August 1932 he was sent back to Ludhiana. He was appointed Secretary of the Rajshi Qaidi Chhurao Committee formed in 1933 to agitate for the release of the political prisoners of 1914-15. He is a persistent and probably an irreconcilable Kirti Kisan agitator, a confirmed revolutionary, and a thoroughly dangerous man who has evaded surveillance on several occasions.
