Working as a compounder in a veterinary hospital at Jalandhar, he came under the influence of Bant&#257 Si&#7749gh of his own village who was a member of the <u>Gh</u>adr revolutionary party. Ar&#363&#7771 Si&#7749gh resigned from the hospital and became a <u>Gh</u>adr activist. In collaboration with Bant&#257 Si&#7749gh, he tampered with the railway lines and cut telephone wires near S&#363r&#257nas&#299 railway station. He learnt bomb-making from Javand Si&#7749gh, of Na&#7749gal Kal&#257&#7749. Soon warrants for Ar&#363&#7771 Si&#7749gh's arrest were issued. He worked underground for two and a half years, exhorting the people to rise against the alien government. During this period, he killed one government informer and seven policemen. On 2 November 1916, he went to meet a friend of his in Lahore Jail, where he was immediately recognized and apprehended. Tried in the Lahore Conspiracy Case III (1916), he was, on 4 January 1917, sentenced to death with forfeiture of property, and was hanged shortly thereafter. During his trial he refused to defend himself; rather he openly confessed to his revolutionary activity.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Jagj&#299t Si&#7749gh, <i><u>Gh</u>adar P&#257r&#7789&#299 Lahi&#7771</i> Delhi, 1979<BR> <li class="C1"> Puri, Harish K. , <i>Ghadar Movement</i>.
