As retribution for the sentence of Transportation meted out to Ganesh Damodar (Babarao) Savarkar, Veer Savarkar’s elder brother and Dhingra’s martyrdom, the revolutionaries in Nashik, Anant Kanhere, Karve and Deshpande conspired and assassinated A.M.T. Jackson, the Collector of Nashik on 21 December 1909. Savarkar, in London at that time, developed double-pneumonia and was shifted to Dr. Muthu’s hospital in Wales to recuperate. In hospital Savarkar received a telegram from Shyamji Krishnavarma informing him of Jackson’s assassination. Following Dhingra’s assassination of Sir Curzon Wyllie, Savarkar was arrested at Victoria Station, London on 13 March 1910 when arriving from Paris on an Indian warrant, charging him with sedition and inciting to murder in India.
