[citation needed] Taking inspiration from Vasudev Balwant Phadke, who was already in revolt in Pune, Sable left the Ahmednagar police force in March 1879 and declared war against British rule; his young son, Maruti Sable, joined him.
[3] Sable united some revolutionary Koli people and attacked British government offices and bases in Pune for seven months.
During the monsoon, Sabale remained silent and in the meantime Tantya Makaji, who had been against the British rule for a long time, became one with Sable.
[5] On 14 October 1879, a comrade of the Sable's of the Ramosi caste who belonged to the group of Tantya Makaji turned traitor, informing the British of all the activities of the revolutionaries, due to which Sable roasted in the accusations of the traitor.
In December 1879, Major Wise's attacked Sable's group, resulting in a number of companions being killed during the encounter, and Sabale was taken as a captive to Ahmednagar, where he was hanged.
