He sent his associates to North West Frontier to fight the British oppression and others to Kabul. He himself went to Hejaz where he held parlays with top officials of Turkish government including its Hejaz military governor and Defence Minister.
When the conspiracy was unearthed he was arrested in Mecca, where British stooge, Sharif Hussain, had revolted with the British support and taken control of the entire Hejaz. Following his arrest, he and his supporters were packed off to Malta, after a sham trial in Egypt.
