			In [[Central Jail Lahore\|Lahore Jail]], Das began another [[hunger strike]] along with other revolutionary fighters, demanding equality for Indian political prisoners with those from Europe.

The uniforms that Indian prisoners were required to wear in jail with were not washed for several days, and [[rat]]s and [[cockroach]]es roamed the [[kitchen]] area making the food unsafe to eat. Indian prisoners were not provided with any reading material such as newspapers, nor paper to write on. The condition of the British prisoners in the same jail was strikingly different.
