History

The collection in Estate was very poor because there was no proper management and there was difficulty in taking over the management of estate[9] because of the disputes between the Co-sharers On the 25th May 1894, Nawab Khan Zamindar of Ratan Estate was Murdered by his co-sharers. He left two widows and his son Abdul Wahab Khan behind him, eventually the Estate was sold in 1927 by Nawab Abdul Wahab Khan to Babu Santlal Das Zamindar of Karari Tintanga.[10]
