When that soldier returned back to Garhi, British army again started firing guns and canons on Garhi. By evening of 29th November, east wall of Garhi /Fort was completely damaged. Now, army stopped firing on east wall. It was decided that the canons would be used for damaging south wall of fort. There were gun and canon firing at 2 AM night. Captain Buck was stationed at water source. The inhabitants of fort used to come for taking water at that source. When Gurkha people came for fetching water or taking water British army fired on them and there was firing from both the end. Gurkha returned without taking water.
There was silent for one hour in night . At 3 Am, Gurkha army came out of Garhi and marched towards south. This time Gurkha soldiers were going towards rivulets by taking help of bushes. British army fired on them. Out of 300 soldiers, only 70 or 73 soldiers could flee from that area and others were killed.
Those seventy soldiers did not ask for asylum from British. Their leader Balbhadra was with them
As per folk stories , Balbhadra ( Levanidas) cried and told that it was not possible to be in Garhi and he was leaving Garhi by his own wish. Balbhadra and his soldiers were thirsty. They did not care and marched forward without caring firing from British army. Soldiers were having either naked swords or guns. Balbhadra was leading them from front. He disappeared in dark.
