After Madho Singh, his son Chhatra Singh took the administration here under his control and started ruling.
In the year 1722 AD, Hari Singh of the same dynasty took over the throne of the rule here, with which the brightness of Bhangarh gradually started decreasing. Ajab Singh, son of Chhatra Singh, had built Ajabgarh, located near Bhangarh.
During the rule of Aurangzeb, he had committed a lot of atrocities on the Hindus, due to which both the sons of Harisingh adopted Islam under pressure. Who later came to be known as Mohammad Kulij and Mohammad Dahleez. When these two brothers became Muslims and the hold on Aurangzebโs rule loosened, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh of Jaipur killed them and captured Bhangarh in 1720 AD. Later, the population started decreasing gradually, while the city was completely abandoned after the famine in 1783.
