The last week of May 1952 has later been referred to as "''The Butchering of Djohor''" due to the widespread atrocities committed by KNIL soldiers. Reports of mass killings of civilians, rape & torture are attested to by first hand and third party investigation of the event. Additionally the KNIL were known to utilize "death squads" in rounding up opposition or suspected rebel forces.

KNIL soldiers with a Stier Panzerkannon, routing out the last of the resistance in the city.Reports suggest that the KNIL soldiers were indiscriminate in their handling of the local population, perceiving all locals as potential rebels. This approach resulted in widespread devastation and significant population displacement. On May 30, the palace of Djohor fell to the KNIL forces. Subsequent accounts indicate that the sultan and his family were subjected to a period of purported torture before being executed without trial.
