 The Dafalas now complained that they were on the verge of starvation owing to the long delay in the delivery of the stipulated blackmail and the payment of the taxes due from the Bahatias.Therefore, under the leadership of "Bar Gam, Radha Gam, Tami Gam" and "Bakara Gam" (the title Gam means leader or chief), the Dafalas raided a village called Gagaldubi and killed three Assamese persons, and carried off forty persons including women and children.Swargadeo Udayaditya Singha immediately arranged an expedition under "Ghorakonwar" Borbarua to capture and punish the Dafala raiders.
