Bālobā was Lakhwā's patron and constant supporter in Sindhiā's council. The news of his fall reached Lakhwā's camp on 6th November, along with orders for his own arrest. Lakhwā immediately sent his family for safety to Bithur in Oudh territory and himself marched to Gopālgarh (7th Nov.), at first intending to go to Benares and take asylum in British territory. He was too loyal to defy his master's authority, though the soldiers loved and clung to him.
