A Journey through the Kingdom of Oude, Volumes I & II

CHAPTER II
41/119

One of the persons died under the tortures inflicted upon him.
In the Gungwal district similar atrocities were committed by Rughbur Sing's agents and their soldiers.

These agents were Gouree Shunkur and Seorutun Sing.

The district formed the estate of Rajah Sreeput Sing, who resided with his family in the fort of Gungwal.

The former Nazim, Suraj-od Dowlah, had attacked this fort on some frivolous pretence; and, having taken it by surprise, sacked the place and plundered the Rajah and his family of all they had.

The Rajah died soon after of mortification, at the dishonour he and his family had suffered, and was succeeded by his son, Seetul Persaud Sing, the present Rajah, who was now plundered again, and driven an exile into the Nepaul hills.
