[...] that he had conspired with the Portugese Viceroy of Goa ; and that he had also intrigued with the ex-Raja of Nagpore and tried to call in the aid of the Russians and the Turks for the expulsion of the English from India. [...] But the greatest of all services he rendered to India was the full and thorough exposure of the mis-government of India by the Company to which should he ascribed the final abolition of the Company. [...] Rungo Bapojee's letter to the Chairman and Court of Directors of the East India Company under the heading Treatment of the Ranee captive widow and infant son of the ex-Raja of Satara by the Government of India and the Directors of the East India Company".
