Moreover, the princely state of Bharatpur faced several administrative difficulties and financial crisis as well. After one of the personal servants (a barber) of Maharaja Ram Singh of Bharatpur was murdered, his ruling powers were suspended August 10th, 1900. Later an enquiry was conducted by the British East India Company and he was deposed on 27th August 1900 and was eventually exiled on 27 August 1900.
