Claim record · DOS-II.18-LAHORE-FORT-TRIAL

Shifted to Lahore Fort for trial (a contested custody question is separate)

B Well supported Law & custody

After the 1923 arrest he was shifted to Lahore Fort for trial (the place of his custody at death in 1926 is a separate, contested question, not asserted here). The Fort was used by the colonial administration as a detention and interrogation site.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Well supported — permits.
