Ally Aka, according to his instructions, proceeded into the city, and with a part of the body-guard put to death many of the rioters ; and by way of satisfying the minds of the people, several minor police officers, who had been most active, were beheaded or hanged, or flayed alive, while others were maimed by the loss of limbs, and exhibited through the city in this mutilated state as examples. In the year 1018, the King's younger brother, Mirza Mahomed Khoodabunda, went into rebellion. In the first instance, Abdool Kurreem and Anwur Khan, at the instigation of Shah Rajoo, a holy personage of that age, raised the standard of revolt, supported by many of the Hawaldars or governors of districts. The object of the rebels appears to have been to murder all the foreigners who were Sheeas, to dethrone the King, and to place Mirza Mahomed Khoodabunda on the musnud; but fortunately the King obtained information of the conspiracy, and prevented their plans from being carried into execution, by seizing and confining the ringleaders in the fort of Golconda, together with the Prince Mirza Mahomed Khoodabunda himself, who died there in the year 1020 (A. D. 1611). - [Previous: 120.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.5.2) - [Next: 120.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.5.4) - [Up: 120.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.5.3) · Pramāṇa
