After killing Gulab Singh, an officer of Jodhpur State, Jodhpur State assigned the task of catching Balji and Bhurji to its brave officer Bakhtawar Singh. While searching for Balji and Bhurji, one day Bakhtawar Singh encountered them. Bakhtawar Singh had more than three hundred soldiers, whereas Balji and Bhurji had no other companion except Inspector Ganesh. Bakhtawar Singh himself was also impressed with Balji-Bhurji and so wanted them to surrender. But Balji and Bhurji, who were of short temper and intimidating nature, thought it better to fight and lose their lives. The place where they were staying was the land of Charans. It was not better for them to fight and lose their lives on the land donated by their ancestors. Leaving that place, they moved a little ahead and established camp in the Roi of a village named Bairas near Mahansar, a former stronghold of Shekhawats. Thakur Bakhtawar Singh also sent his spies to the Barothis. He was taking information about them every moment, as soon as they went to the forest of Bairas village he moved forward and surrounded that place from three sides, and started waiting for the sunrise.
