The Nawab ordered the arrest of Baba Moti Ram Mehra, his mother, wife, and son.
He did not conceal his act and boldly told the Nawab that it was his pious duty to serve the imprisoned children and their grandmother.
Hence Baba Moti Ram Mehra, along with his family, was sentenced to death by being squeezed in a Kohlu (oil press).
His followers and kin of his caste constituted the Amar Saheed Baba Moti Ram Mehra Charitable Trust.
[3] A Gurdwara known as the Memorial Baba Moti Ram Mehra stands opposite Rauza Sharif 200 metres (660 ft) from Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, which was constructed by the Trust[4] at the place where Moti Ram Mehra was martyred by the Nawab.
