Lothoo Became Victim of Conspiracy
When Dungar Singh and Jawahar Singh were away from Bathot-Patoda, British officers adopted a new policy. They started divide and rule. They did not want to kill Lothoo directly rather they allured Rajputs to kill him for various benefits.
Lothoo had good relations with thakurs of Patoda. They used to invite Lothoo many times on various occasions. There was a Brahman lady near thakur Patoda’s haveli. Lothoo treated her as sister and whenever he used to come to thakur’s haveli he kept his horse and gun at this lady’s house and then went to the haveli. One day when he was invited for a dinner party at haveli of Patoda some traitor Rajputs made a plan to kill Lothoo. Rajputs gave him a warm welcome at dinner and offered drinks also. After the dinner as usual some miscreant Rajput youths accompanied him to Patoda-Bathot boarder and attacked him and challenged that British could not kill him but they (Rajputs) would not leave him alive. When Lothoo tried to fire back in defence he found that its gun’s barrel was filled with oil and clay. In fact Rajputs conspired with the Brahman lady by giving him land and wealth for helping in killing Lothoo. Lothoo fought unarmed. He picked one Rajput by hand and pressed, who died on spot. Meanwhile other Rajputs attacked on his neck by sword from behind and chopped off his head. This way Lothoo became victim of Rajput conspiracy and the Rajputs eliminated a brave, nationalist revolutionist in 1855.
There is a samadhi of Lothoo at village Bathot. The people of Shekhawati region come here and worship him as a folk-deity. The samadhi of such a hero of freedom movement is uncared and badly damaged at present.
Dungar Singh was living in Jodhpur fort. The Maharani of Jodhpur poisoned him through servants and he died in 1853. Thkur Jawahar Singh came to Patoda during his last days of life. He died here. His adopted son Mannu Singh had constructed a Chhatri in his memory at Patoda in 1883.

“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”

“I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”
