So at the time of afternoon prayer he went to the house of Tardi Beg Khan, and taking him with him, brought him to his own abode into the tent, and afterwards at the time of evening prayer he rose up on the pretence of performing the ablutions, and gave to some men, who were held in readiness for the purpose, the signal to slay him. So they made an end of Tardi Beg Khan. And in the morning, when Khwaja Sultan ‘Ali and Mir Munshi did not come to the Diwan, he, suspecting them also of treachery, had them imprisoned together with Khanjar Beg, a relation of Tardi Beg Khan. But some time after they regained their liberty. - [Previous: 77.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.77.2.2) - [Next: 77.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.77.2.4) - [Up: 77.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.77.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.77.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.77.2.3) · Pramāṇa
