It has been above related how Khan-zaman was pardoned, and his jagirs restored, upon condition that he did not pass over the river without permission. But when the Emperor had gone to Chunar, he crossed the river, and went to Muhammadabad, one of the dependencies of Jaunpur, and from thence sent parties of troops to occupy Ghazipur and Jaunpur. As soon as the Emperor returned to his camp, he was informed of this evil proceeding of 'Ali Kuli Khan's, and he said reproachfully to Khan-khanan, "No sooner had I quitted this neighbourhood than 'Ali Kuli Khan broke the conditions of his pardon." Khan-khanan looked mortified, and endeavoured to make excuse. Orders were given for Ashraf Khan Mir-bakhshi to go to Jaunpur, and make prisoner the mother of 'Ali Kuli Khan, who was in that city, and to confine her in the fort of Jaunpur. He was also to secure every rebel he could lay hold of. Khwaja Jahan and Muzaffar Khan were to remain with the camp, and lead it by regular marches. The Emperor himself, with a considerable force, started off upon a rapid march against 'Ali Kuli Khan. Ja'far Khan, son of Kazak Khan Turkoman, who had come from 'Irak, went to the fort of Ghazipur, intending to make a dash at it; but 'Ali Kuli Khan's people, who were in the fort, hearing of his intention, let themselves down from the walls on to the river Ganges, and went to Muhammadabad. Khan-zaman, who was in that town, on being informed of what had occurred, hastened to make his escape by the water.
