The Battle of Rumal was fought between the Sikh forces led by Gulab Singh Dhillon and the Dogra forces led by Raja Braj Dev.
Background and Battle
Jammu had been tributary to the Bhangis and Kanhaiyas. The Sialkot district was in the immediate neighborhood of Jammu.[1] The Ranjitgarh fort was made by Maharaja Ranjit Dev to mark his southern boundary. The Bhangis of Sialkot captured the fort in 1787.[2] Bran Dev came to drive away the Bhangis but was killed in a battle fought at Rumal.[3]
Aftermath
Braj Dev's son Sampuran Singh succeeded him but surrendered to the Sikhs.[4][5]
