In the battle of Ruhela he was despatched at the head of two hundred warriors to meet the attacking Mughal force from Jalandhar. Towards the end of the action that ensued, Bhai Jattu challenged the commander of the enemy vanguard, Muhammad Khan, to a duel.

Musket shots of both having gone astray, they, narrates Bhai Santokh Singh, Sri Gur Pratdp Suraj Granth, took up bows and arrows. “This time the arrows from both ends found their respective targets and the two warriors fell together mortally wounded, as men from both sides looked on.” BIBLIOGRAPHY 1.
