Wazir Jamil, one of the old amirs of the State, along with Jan Muhammad Bihbudi and some others, deserted Muzaffar Khan, and joined the insurgents. Muzaffar Khan then took shelter in the fort of Tanda, which was nothing better than four walls. The rebels occupied the town of Tanda. They took Hakim Abu-l Fath, Khwaja Shamsu-d din and others prisoners, and began to pillage. Hakim Abu-l Fath with the Khwaja and Rai Patar Das effected their escape by artifice, and fled on foot. By the help of the zamindars, they managed to reach Hajipur. The rebels made themselves masters of the fort of Tanda, brought Muzaffar Khan out of his house upon a solemn assurance (of safety), and put him to death. They took possession of his property and effects, and all the country of Bengal and Bihar fell into their hands. Nearly 30,000 horsemen assembled round the rebels. The Emperor some time before this had taken Mirza Sharafu-d din Husain out of prison, and sent him to Bengal to Muzaffar Khan. The rebels now released him from confinement, and placed him at their head. So the revolt increased. - [Previous: 75.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75.4) - [Next: 75.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75.6) - [Up: 75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.75.5) · Pramāṇa
