Baba Jagtar Singh had to give compensation to some of the persons to vacate the building. While some of them vacated the house without demanding any money. Jathedar Amrik Singh said the wells of the house dried about 10 years ago as the water level of the town had gone down. He claimed that the residents of the town used to get water which had medicinal value.

Jathedar Amrik Singh claimed that at one time even Maharaja Ranjit Singh had paid a visit to the house. However, the successive governments could not get possession of the historical house.

It may be mentioned here that Bibi Balwant Kaur from the UK had once visited Sultanpur Lodhi and was pained to see that the house of Bebe Nanaki could not be preserved. It was due to Bebe Nanaki that Guru Nanak Dev visited Sultanpur Lodhi and stayed there for more than 13 years. Yet, her house could not be preserved. Balwant Kaur took women of the town with her and constructed a big gurdwara in memory of Bebe Nanaki which is visited by a large number of Sikhs every day.

The historical 'bohar': tree adjoining the house was witness to the killing of a number of Muslims by the British Police. The Muslims had then insisted on cutting a branch of the tree for taking out 'tazia'. Jathedar Amrik Singh said that the 'kar sewa' of the ancient house would be carried out in November to mark the gurpurb of Guru Nanak Dev.
