Mahants (Managers) from the Udasi and Nirmala religious communities that cared for Sikh shrines during the anti-Sikh genocidal campaigns and holocausts of the 18th century, were bribed and employed by the British to keep Sikhs away from power of Sikh shrines and therefore, unable to use Gurdwaras as a platform to rebel or raise their voice for freedom.
After the annexation of the Sikh Kingdom, the British planned to control and subdue Sikhs by controlling Gurdwaras. Doing so would control the finances and platform to speak that supported Sikhs to voice freedom.

When the Khalsa Sevak Jatha took over Sialkot's Gurdwara Ber Sahib and ousted out the corrupt alcohol-drinking Mahant in September 1920. This led to the Mahant reporting the Sikhs to the police and getting them arrested.
On 12th October 1920, the British payroll Pujari priests of Sri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar, refused to take the Karah Parshaad offerings of Khalsa College Students who were newly initiated Sikhs that were previously Dalit Hindus.

He was linked to the anti-Sikh British colonial rulers of Punjab and misused Gurdwara funds to live a lavish and immoral lifestyle, committing many crimes, including rape and murder that led to the Sikh uprising, leading to the Sri Nankana Sahib bloody massacre and subsequent freeing of Gurdwara Nankana Sahib from the Mahant.
