But still he has a temple to his name and people and the villagers worship him as a god in his village till date. He robbed and killed for the people of his village and went beyond measures to help them and save them from the landlords and money lenders who exploited the villagers. His reign of terror was put to an end by a 'Gurkha' Captain Babbar Singh Thappa of the Gurkha Regiment of the Indian Army. When the police failed to get him the army was called in under the direction of the supremo "The Prime Minister" himself.
