The right wing of the Afghans, commanded by Kala Pahar, gave way, when the soldiers saw their leader wounded, and the centre under Da'ud was defeated by Khan Jahan. Da'ud himself was captured and brought to Khan Jahan, who sent his head to Akbar. After this great victory, Khan Jahan despatched Todar Mall to court, and moved to Satganw (Higli), where Da'ud’s family lived. Here he defeated the remnant of Da'ud’s adherents under Jamshed and Mitti, and reannexed Satganw, which since the days of old had been called Bulghakkhdnah, to the Mughul empire. Da'ud’s mother came to Khan Jahan as a suppliant. Soon after Mall Gosain, Rajah of Kuch Bihar, sent tribute and 54 elephants, which Khan Jahan despatched to Court. With the defeat and death of Da'ud, Bengal was by no means conquered. New troubles broke out in Bhati, where the Afghans had collected under Karim Dad, Ibrahim, and the rich Zamindar 'Isa ('isa). With great difficulties Khan Jahan occupied that district, assisted by a party of Afghans who had joined him together with Da'ud’s mother at G'hor'ag'hat; and returned to Sihhatpur, a town which he had founded near Tandah. Soon after, he took ill, and died after a sickness of six weeks in the same year (19th Shawwal 986). Abulfazl remarks that his death was opportune, inasmuch as the immense plunder collected by Khan Jahan in Bengal, had led him to the verge of rebellion.
