I mean his daughter Mrs Satyavati got married to Dr Y.S.Parmar (The first Chief Minister of H.P),.Mr Lal Chand Stokes got married to Mrs Vidya Stokes her father was a tehsildar at that time . and the other two Mr Prem Chand Stokes and Pretam Stokes got their wives from Bhalaik familes so i mean were they not aware of this fact or the money over shadowed other things.....
