History
Rebellion at Kot Sumer:
Lepel H. Griffin writes:[1]Before the affair of Bhawanigarh was settled, another outbreak occurred at Kot Sumer, headed by Rajo, the widow of Sirdar Baksho Singh of Saboka. The fort held by this lady was very strong, and, before the Diwan was able to reduce it, he was summoned away to quell a still more serious revolt at Bhikhe, which Sirdar Ala Singh, the brother of Rani Khem Kour, one of Raja Amar Singh's widows, had seized, with the aid of the zamindars of the neighbourhood, expelling the Pattiala Governor, Thamman Singh, from the town and fort.
