Husain Khan Mahdi Kasim Khani, jagirdar of Kant and Gola, had gone off to quell the insurgents of Badaun and Pattiali, before he heard of Ibrahim Husain Mirza's arrival in the neighbourhood of Dehli. In the mean time, Makhdumu-l Mulk Maulana 'Abdu-lla Sultanpuri and Raja Bihar Mal, who were entrusted with the chief direction of affairs during the King's absence in Gujarat, wrote to Husain Khan from Fathpur, to inform him that Ibrahim Husain Mirza had experienced two defeats, and was then in the vicinity of Dehli, and that as no person of importance was now present to defend the capital, he ought to hasten to Fathpur without delay. He accordingly prepared to obey their summons, and was well on his road, having arrived at the village of Oudh, in Jalesar, when he learnt that the Raja of Awesar still continued the depredations which he had practised since the accession of the King, in the neighbourhood of Agra, and had become a predatory robber (kazzak). He had been engaged in several hard conflicts with some loyal nobles, and had slain many excellent men, and at that time he was concealed in the jungle of the village of Naurahi, in the pargana of Jalesar. - [Previous: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.11) - [Next: 12.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12.2) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-elliot.12.1) · Pramāṇa
