Yes, on March 19, 1940 (the day of the Khaksar massacre in Lahore), police, accompanied by army soldiers, raided the Khaksar Tehriks headquarters in Lahore. During the raid, Ehsanullah Khan Aslam was hit by a police tear gas grenade. He later succumbed to the injury and died on May 31, 1940. Note: Also see Armughan-e-Hakeem (a collection of poetry by Mashriqi), which includes Mashriqis poem in memory of Ehsanullah Khan Aslam.
