Extract from a report received under the Commissioner of
Police f s No#5899/M**72 > dated the 22nd December
1917 •
Last year, while I was on deputation to the Hedjaz, I
submitted a report to H*E#Colonei. Wilson
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
concerning 4
Indians namely (l) Mustafa Cxhulam Rasul (2) Abdul Nabi
Kashmiri (3) Saleh Baoao and (4) Maqbul Abrned, who held anti-
British and pro^Turkish views* It was decided by the
authorities at Jedda that they should be deported to India*
After my return to Bombay in January 1917, I learnt that
information by cable nad been received here from Jeddan Pra
that the four men in question had been deported to India from
Jeddan in the month of December 1916* I therefore submitted e
report here to the effect that the information sent by cable
from Jeddan was based on a misunderstanding and U*0.R*
No.5Q4~W*, dated the 19th January 1917 from the Political
Department was accordingly replied to by the Commissioner of
Police under his U*0*R*582/M«15B, dated the 6th February
1917.
This time while in Jeddan I again made enquiries about
these four men and ascertained that they were still in
Mecca* I therefore submitted a fresh report in which I
pointed out that through some misunderstanding information
nad been cabled to India by the British
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
that the four
men were deported in December 1916* It seems that this
report of mine was given to Mir* Husain Ruhi who is employed
by the British
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
and he reported that No*3 Saleh Babao
nad left the Hedaz about 2 years ago* I was then called
upon to substantiate that Salen Babao was still in Mecca and
I succeeied in proving that my information was correct* I
was not told what further action the British
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
would
take against him*
