The plot was discovered, but Mahomed Zuman Mirza received his pardon on taking the most solemn oath of future fidelity; yet inheriting from his father a treasonable propensity, he projected a similar scheme a second time, when he was seized, and confined in the fort of Byana, under charge of Yadgar Beg. Orders were issued, at the same time, for apprehending and depriving of sight his nephew, Mahomed Sooltan Mirza, as also Nukwut Sooltan, both Mogul officers of distinction, and abettors of Mahomed Zuman's designs. The person to whom this duty was intrusted executed the decree only on Nukwut Sooltan, without destroying the sight of Mahomed Sooltan Mirza. Meanwhile Mahomed Zuman Mirza, assisted by his keeper, Yadgar Beg, escaped from Byana, and sought refuge at the court of Bahadur Shah of Guzerat. Mahomed Sooltan Mirza aided by his two sons, Alugh Mirza and Shah Mirza, also fled to Kunowj, where he was joined by about six thousand persons, consisting of Moguls, Afghans, and Rajpoots. - [Previous: 57.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.57.1.3) - [Next: 57.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.57.1.5) - [Up: 57.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.57.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.57.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.57.1.4) · Pramāṇa
