And sent to Lucknow jail and the same Raja Singh was sentenced to death, after which Raja Singh ji's wife Rani Lekhraj Kunwar constructed Ramsnehi Ghat Chamirganj from Surajpur Bahrela and made her residence there. This property included fifty-six villages. Its owner was Udatt Pratap Singh, who had become the head of Bahreliya. But he was mentally and physically unfit to manage his property, but as long as his maternal grandfather, Udat Narayan, lived, there was no fear of betrayal of the family by under-owners, tenants or patwaris. After that Raja Mahipal Singh became the king of Hathonda, after his death his son Raja Prithvipal Singh Bahrelia Surajpur Bahrela became the king of Hathonda.[citation needed]
