Begum requested Hardatt Singh to fight for her cause and put a tilak on his forehead. The raja, being the head of the Raikwar clan, collected his clans-men, the Thakur of Chahlari, Rehwa and Bhitauli and along with the Rajas of Gonda, Charda, Payagpur, Tulsipur, Gangwal, Jarwal, Bhinga, Nanpara, Mallapur and Ramnagar, they collected a considerable force of 25,000 and gave a gallant fight at Chinhut, in which they were defeated by Sir Hope Grant. The raja fled to Nepal with Begum Hazrat Mahal, where he is said to have died. But the British claims that the raja was captured and deported to Port Blair. The Baundi talluqa was confiscated and given to Maharaja Randhir Singh of Kapurthala. After the death of Hardatt Singh, his two minor sons Mahesh Baksh Singh and Mahabir Baksh Singh were left with Raja Man Singh of Ayodhya.
