According to Binoy Ghosh, the Bargis ruled in Patashpur for many years. At that time Patashpur was not in Medinipur district. In 1760, Medinipur district came under control of the East India Company, and the Bargis used Patashpur as a base for looting the Medinipur area. In 1803, Odisha, along with Patashpur, came under control of the British.[1]
