K.I. Singh's main focus throughout the revolution was the city of Bhairawa (current day [[Siddharthanagar]]), which he tried to take from the forces of the Bada Hakim (leader) of Bhairawa, though he was unsuccessful. Singh's most serious clashes were with the local [[zamindars]], who were extremely unpopular among the peasantry for allegedly bringing in Indian [[Goonda|goodas]] to loot their villages in 1949–50. When the fighting began, these zamindars sent their families to India and started cooperating with the Bada Hakim of Bhairawa. Singh's battles with the zamindars was extremely brutal. For example, after storming the house of zamindar Bhubaneshwar Shukla, nine government soldiers who were inside were gunned down immediately for allegedly mistreating rebels previously, and fifty Indian goondas who were there tried to escape but were killed by the villages who helped Singh with the siege. When he begged Singh for his life, one of Singh's followers clubbed him to death with a [[Baton (law enforcement)|lathi]], and the villagers later battered his corpse.<ref name="Marie"/> | K.I.

The [[Delhi | The [[Delhi Accord]] officially brought about the end of the revolution.
