During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, Murad Fatyana was a close associate of Rai Ahmad Khan Kharal. He along with Rai Ahmad Khan Kharal and Sarang Kharal managed to organise a decent force to battle the East India Company.[1][2][3][4]
About 10 different detachments were send to hunt Rai Ahmad Khan Kharal, and in a sharp skirmish, they managed to kill Rai Ahamad Khan Kharal and Sarang Kharal.[1]
After Kharal's death the Bar tribes desperately sought revenge from the East India Company. Bar tribes led by Fatyana vowed to do the exact same with Lord Berkley, and in a successful attack Fatyana killed Lord Berkeley and 50 other British-Indian troops.[1][2][3][4]
