He was again arrested and sentenced to three years' imprisonment in June 1921 for a highly seditious speech at Gujar Khan but was released in August 1921 after tendering a written apology. Failing to abide by the conditions of the apology, orders for his arrest were again issued and though in 1923 he was traced in the Ludhiana district he managed to evade arrest. In July of that year he was making violent speeches in Sukkur (Sind) posing as a representative of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandak Committee. From there he went to Nabha State, and the United Provinces, and about the end of 1923 was said to be in Calcutta. He could not be traced there but was subsequently seen in Kashmir State where he was engaged in objectionable propaganda. He was finally expelled from the State and was arrested on the borders of Kashmir in October 1924 and remanded to jail under Section 401(3), Criminal Procedure Code. He was released in January 1927, and immediately afterwards made a speech at a Diwan held in Gurdwara Baoli Sahib Lahore, on 30th January 1927 in the course of which he remarked that "if the Sikhs were the real sons of Guru Gobind Singh they should strive to secure the release of all Akali prisoners." In March 1927 he sent for publication to the Kirti magazine of Amritsar two objectionable articles in which he exhorted Indians to follow the example of their martyrs in securing freedom for their country. Throughout that year he was engaged in addressing meetings. He reappeared in Kashmir about the middle of that year but was again expelled.

The suspicion was that he had been expelled from Kabul for causing communal dissensions and correspondence from Ishar Singh and Gurmukh Singh (G-54) showed that he was no longer trusted by the Party. He is alleged to have gone to Amritsar about the end of April 1931, with certain messages for the Kirti party. In May 1931 he was reported to be in Malikdin Khet country and was reported to have opened a dispensary. In September 1932 he was reported to be corresponding with Sikh agitators of the Punjab.
