Th. Jodha Singh Gautam took the Tehsildar hostage during this encounter and got the British to waive the Lagaan of the farmers of the entire tehsil as a ransom.
As a result, Jodha Singh & 51 of his companions were caught & hanged from the Bada Imli ka ped at Fatehpur.

Sad, that no farmer leader or "nationalist politician" remembers him today.
