The Rajputs of Satha- Chaurasi also left their home to be a part of this revolt and Thakur Jhanku Singh was the man leading the crowd. While protesting against East India Company the crowd went to the police station and burned down the whole thing, Station IN charged Mubarak Ali, who would then have to run away and hide in nearby villages to save his life and he later reached Meerut and informed Senior British Officials about the situation in Dhaulana.

Lala Jhanku Singhal along with thousand of men moved towards Delhi and upon reaching Red Fort he tore the symbol of East India Company waving and waved his Saffron Pagdi instead.
