A government informer, Sahib Rai of Naushahra Pannuari, complained to the faujdar of Patti, Ja'far Beg, that Tara Singh harboured criminals. The faujdar sent a contingent of 25 horse and 80 foot to Van, but Tara Singh fought back and routed the invaders with several dead, including their commander, a nephew of the faujdar. Ja'far Beg reported the matter to Zakariya Khaa, who sent a punitive expedition consisting of 2,000 horse, five elephants, 40 light guns and four cannononwheels under his deputy, Momin Khan. Tara Singh had barely 22 men with him at that time. They kept the Lahore force at bay through the night, but were killed to a man in the handtohand fight on the following day. This happened on 24 December 1732. A Gurdwara now marks the site where Tara Singh and his companions were cremated. | |||
