Hafiz Shamsuddin Ahmad has mentioned that besides the above monuments numerous other tombs exist round the village, scattered over miles around, about whom local stories and legends are not wanting.
They are mostly of Shahids or martyrs who died fighting for the cause of Islam. The tomb in Qazi Tola of the village, however is said to be of Hazrat Makhdum Ruknuddin Marghilani who was a teacher of Makhdum Yahya. It is thus a very old structure, standing on a small mound of earth and has an open mosque attached to it. Hafiz further mentions "If we go from this place to the main road which lies not very far in the east, and walk on that road northward to some distance, we shall meet a half broken tomb on the road itself.
It is said to belong to a Shahid (a martyr), and it is related that when the road was under construction, the engineer ordered the demolition of the tomb in order to clear the road, but at the first stroke of the pick-axe, it began to bleed, on which he was frightened and allowed it to remain as it was. Nothing more could be known about it. If we proceed on the same road further on till we arrive near the Police Station, we find a place south of the road and west of the Police Station which is called Barah Gor (twelve tombs), and it is supposed to be the place where certain twelve martyrs were buried. This place is said to possess the efficacy of curing persons bitten by dogs; and men suffering from hydrophobia are often taken to that place and it is said they are cured of their malady."
