Colonel Dyer arrived at the Bagh with a group of 50 troops, including 25 Gurkhas of 1/9 Gurkha Rifles (1st battalion, 9th Gurkha Rifles), Pathans and Baluch and 59th Sindh Rifles. Fifty of them were armed with .303 Lee–Enfield bolt-action rifles. Lee Enfield .303 Bolt-action rifle. Lee Enfield .303 bullets. It would've been even worse! After Mr. Justice Rankin had questioned Dyer, Sir Chimanlal Setalvad questioned him.

ਅਬ ਮੋਰੋ ਨਾਚਨੋ ਰਹੋ ॥ Now, my dancing is over. ਨਚਿਐ ਟਪਿਐ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥ By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed. ਮਾਇਆ ਮੋਹੁ ਇਸੁ ਮਨਹਿ ਨਚਾਏ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਕਪਟੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੪॥ The love of Maya makes this mind dance, and the deceit within makes people suffer in pain. ||4|| ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾਰਣਿ ਪਿੜ ਬੰਧਿ ਨਾਚੈ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੬॥ For the sake of Maya, they set the stage and dance, but they are in love with duality, and they obtain only sorrow. ||6|| ਰੰਗਿ ਰਤਾ ਨਚੈ ਨੰਗੁ ॥ they delight in their pleasures, and dance about shamelessly. ਨਚਿ ਨਚਿ ਟਪਹਿ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਦੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ॥ they dance and dance and jump all around, but they only suffer in terrible pain
