Although several military units were sent to seize Beşar Çeto, it was not possible to catch him. Beşar Çeto’s brother, Cemil Çeto, who became the leader of Pençinar tribe after his brother’s death, inherited his brother’s legacy by sustaining illegal activities. Cemil Çeto, who is also known with his insurgency during the War of Independence, continued banditry throughout the World War I and the ceasefire period.
