Krishna Chandra died in 1813 and was succeeded by his brother Gobind Chandra. The latter soon found himself involved in difficulties. Kohi Dān, who had been a table servant of the late Raja, was appointed to a post in the northern hilly tract, where he rebelled and endeavoured to form an independent kingdom. Gobind Chandra managed to inveigle him to Dharampur, where he caused him to be assassinated. The rebellion was continued by Kohi Dān’s son Tulārām, himself a servant of the Raja, who, thinking that his own life was in danger, fled to the hills and successfully resisted all attempts to reduce him.
