Bhagwan Das contemplated his right of ownership on the land and with the help of some hired ruffians forcibly tried to dislodge them. In the ensuing small clash with Sikhs Bhagwan Das and his most hired ruffians were killed.

They together went to Ali Beg(Abdullah Khan), Subedar of Jalandhar and complained about Guru Hargobind. After listening that, Subedar got angry and attacked Guru sahib. There was a Furious battle outside Rohila Town. Subedar Alibeg defeated in this battle. After Battle, in the evening, Guru Sahib untied his waist band(Kamar Kasa) at that place Gurdwara Damdama Sahib is situated.
