After their death rioting became one of the most ever changing scenario. Military was brought in to control Singhs - many were killed and wounded during these riots and some were taken prisoners and were jailed in Hyderabad fort. Few who survived were hiding in the woods. Some of the Sikhs remained under the Hukum of Guru and remained near to Hajur Sahib and Sikhs who were not involved in these rioting in Punjab kept the love for peace and prosperity flowing through the generations.
