Baba Dharam Dass retained his profession as a clothes merchant. He was murdered in a nearby village while selling his goods from a horse.

Descendents of Baba Dharam Dass had to flee Pasrur during the partition of India into India and Pakistan during 1947. Unable to travel back to Pasrur to perform important rituals on the tomb of Baba Dharam Dass, they have created two replicas of his tomb, one in the town of Meerut near Delhi and other in Ludhiana in Indian Punjab.
