The then Rana administration confiscated all the property of Chiniyalal Singh, and sent him to the life imprisonment for opening the school. The Rana administration forcibly feed him flattened rice and yogurt when he was suffering from high fever causing his death in 1944, according to his daughter Usha Singh.
