The numbers: thirty-one imprisoned, eleven refused

C Attributed / requires confirmation Law & custody depends on the 2026 biography

According to one centenary account, of thirty-one senior Akali leaders then imprisoned a majority accepted the terms and eleven refused, among them Teja Singh Samundri and Master Tara Singh. These are press-only figures.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Partially supported — published only with attribution — permits.
