On hearing that Afghan soldiers had abducted 140 girls from a village near Mertia, he set out with an army to rescue the girls.[2] In the ensuing Battle of Peepar, Satal killed the leader of the abductors, Gudhla Khan and saved the girls, but he succumbed to his wounds and died that night. He was succeeded by his brother Suja.
