When the British Raj government moved the Domkis in Sindh, the Gabols also migrated. The Domkis used to loot the those travelling all around Balochistan, Sindh, along with the Jakhrani. In 1845, The Governor of Sindh General Sir Charles James Napier sent his army to shift them in Sindh near Cantonment area so that they could hold peace in the area. Gabol along with Domkies shifted to Sindh with Bijjar Khan as Tribal Leader and Jhakrani along with Darya Khan as Tribal Leader. In Sindh they were shifted in Dera Jani a few miles away from Jacobabad where they are living in Domki.
