Upon his return, Choibalsan orchestrated Baasanjav"s arrest and subsequent execution on charges of counterrevolution in February 1940.

Baasanjav was rehabilitated in 1957. The official Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party History published in 1969 stated that Baasanjav was one of several high ranking government officials who were the victims of an "out of control Interior Ministry" and that that he was unjustly slandered and punished.
