In June 1857, Sah Mal Singh seized 500 head of cattle, and collected escaped convicts and other locals and formed a force. On 18 July, British forces came under attack as they approached the village of Baraut. A group of fighters led by Sah Mal took up positions in a nearby orchard, and came under pressed attack by a Rifles unit. The Jat formation broke, and were attacked on the flank by mounted troops. Hand-to-hand combat ensued, during which Sah Mal was killed.<ref>{{cite book|title=District Gazetteers of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eNxP7M4HRRAC&pg=PA178|year=1904|pages=178–}}</ref><br />
