The Moamorias started their rebellion towards the close of October 1769, allied themselves with banished princes and nobles (Mohanmala Gohain and two sons of Rajeswar Singha.)

In 1770, the surviving royalists struck back, killed the chief Moamoria leaders, restored the monarchy and initiated a general massacre of the rebels and their associates.

This created dissension among the Darrangis, accordingly four thousand inhabitants of Darrang marched in a body and forcibly appeared in front of the palace, protested and yeiled their demand.

[3] The remaining years of Lakshmi Singha reign were spent suppressing various minor rebellions and conspiracies, many of them organised by exiled Ahom princes.

A group of Muslims under the leadership of one Hazari Dewan, attempted to place an acclaimed son of Mohanmala Gohain to the throne, however they were unsuccessful and were let go with a light punishment.
