Their hands were yet reeking with his blood, when they encountered Mullik Taj Bhut; who, boldly upbraiding them for their conduct, also fell a victim to their fury on the spot. Syud Ally Khan, being now at the head of a large body of Syuds, opposed the opposite party, and some severe actions occurred. During these dissensions the town became much infested by thieves. In this state of affairs the Syuds dug a ditch round the city. They confiscated the property, and levelled the houses, of those citizens who joined their enemies on the opposite side of the river; while Jehangeer Makry, who had previously sought safety in the fort of Lohkote, joined them, in spite of advantageous offers made to him by the Syuds. Shortly afterwards, Dawood, the son of Jehangeer, crossed the bridge with a small party of the insurgents, and attacked the Syuds; but most of the assailants falling victims, their heads were elevated on the public minarets, in view of those encamped on the opposite bank of the river. The Syuds, on the following day, made an attack on the lines of the popular party; but they were vigorously opposed by the citizens in their attempt to cross the bridge of boats, on which many of the Syud party were slain; till at length, the bridge giving way, those who were on it at the time were drowned. - [Previous: 336.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.2) - [Next: 336.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.4) - [Up: 336.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.336.1.3) · Pramāṇa
