The very same Gabbar Singh who is today a household name after the film Sholay once carried a reward of Rs 50 000 and was known as Gabra. Rustamji averred that the British Intelligence must have had information that Jinnah was critically ill with cancer and would not live long. The British Government was apprehensive that if Jinnah died Pakistan would not come into being and its strategic interest in the subcontinent would suffer.
