He inherited State of Ferozpur Jharka and other brothers inherited Luharo State. He wanted to administer both the States and wanted to give a fixed pension to his brothers. But the brothers wanted their share from the Ferozpur State as well. After long litigation and with the help of William Frazer the Resident of Delhi, Loharu was given to the brothers, which created enmity between him and W. Frazer. William Frazer was murdered in 1835. He along with his servant was hanged.
