He was a great military strategist and fought valiantly and was the one who killed Col Gerrard with his Minie rifle, which was his favourite rifle, he missed his first shot, while aiming at Gerrard from the opposite bank of the rivulet where battle was going on, but quickly reloaded the rifle and again shot at Gerrard, who was the only person in redcoat as rest of his men were in khakee, this time he got his shot right and thus killed Gerrard at Narnaul. Although, Indians lost the battle and he along with other leaders went into hiding for nearly next two-three years but again came back and settled at his native village Nihalpura, now in Alwar District of Rajasthan, and became a follower of Arya Samaj in his last years.
