Territory of Chaniot was in the hands of Jassa Singh son of Karam Singh Dulu. His subjects were sick of him. The Maharaja led an army to Chaniot. Jassa Singh closed the gates of the fort. The siege continued for about two months. At last Jassa Singh evacuated the fort and Ranjit Singh placed it under his own control. The Maharaja gave Jassa Singh a suitable jagir.
