VEER SAVARKAR

In March 1910, British police arrested Savarkar for anti-British activities at London's Victoria railway station, as soon as his train reached there from Paris. They sent him back to India by ship in order to prosecute him for his inflammatory 1906 anti-government speech in Mumbai. Morea reached the French port of Marseilles on July 7, 1910. Next morning, between 6 and 7 a.m., Savarkar escaped through a porthole and swam ashore. According to the British police, a French marine brigadier arrested the revolutionary and handed him over. Three people from the vessel helped him in the recapture..July 8, 1910, when the revolutionary escaped from their custody by leaping into the sea from merchant vessel Morea at Marseilles.

But.Later found that Savarkar was caught by AMAR SINH Pardeshi and A. SIDDIQUI-two British policemen of Indian origin-who were on board guarding him, a short while after he swam ashore.......
