His Excellency, seriously injured, was at once taken to Viceroy Lodge. He could not preside over the Darbar held in the Red Fort. The tragic and unique event snook the foundations of the British Empire. Thirteen persons were arrested in Delhi and Lahore between the 10th and 18th February 1914, including Shri Amir Chand but Rash Bihari Bose escaped from his residence in Lahore. Statement of approver Dina Nath was recorded at Lahore by a Magistrate on 24th February 1914.
