Lothoo in turn without showing any anger picked the kunwar by hand, slapped him and threw him in air. The kunwar died on the spot. Lothoo told this incidence to his parents. The incidence had sent alarms amongst the Jagirdars. The parents of Lothoo thought it better to move from Ringas somewhere else to avoid any confrontation. Lothoo’s sister was married in village Bathot in a Kalwania family. So Lothoo along with his parents migrated from Ringas to village Bathot and started living with their relatives.
