                As soon as Gurkha killed British officials and British army returned to Khurbura the Gurkha spread the news of their win over British attackers. The news reached to Shrinagar that there was fierce war between Balbhadra and British army. The information reached to Shrinagar that Balbhadra killed Gillespie and Gurkha killed many British army soldiers.

 Garhwalis became frustrated after receiving the information of British loosing war. Gurkha punished many Garhwalis for conspiracy. Shiv Ram and Kashiram of Saklana were helping British. Gurkha heavily punished the family members and villagers of Shivram and Kashiram.

When Gurkha used to receive information about any Garhwali having sympathy with British Gurkha officer used to punish such Garhwali without finding the truth. Gurkha used to spread news of Gurkha army reaching to Kumaon and Garhwal for attacking British. Gurkha used to threaten Garhwalis and Kumaunis for helping Gurkha army in carrying loading and unloading the war related materials of Gurkha soldiers.

  Gurkha officers used to order villagers for sending sons or young relative for serving Gurkha soldiers. Through various means, Gurkha officers also compelled villagers for supplying food grains and tax.
