He was a source of constant trouble to Jan-nisar Khan, who had married the sister of Kamru-d din Khan, the minister, and who had charge of the district of Kora. On one occasion, when Nawab Sarbuland Khan, the Governor of Allahabad, came to Kora, Jan-nisar Khan asked him for his aid in destroying Bhagwant. Sarbuland Khan said that it would take much time to subdue Bhagwant, and he had no money to pay the army; but that, if Jan-nisar Khan could provide him with this necessary, he would punish Bhagwant. Jan-nisar Khan refused, and Sarbuland Khan returned to Allahabad. Bhagwant, who was watching the opportunity of rising against Jan-nisar Khan, allowed but a short time to elapse, before he suddenly fell upon him, and having put him to death, plundered his camp, and took the ladies of his household, and distributed them between himself and his relatives. Kamru-d din Khan, the minister, was furious at this intelligence, and, aided by all the nobles of Dehli, he marched against Bhagwant. The rebel secured himself within the fort of Ghazipur, and though the minister exerted every effort against him, they all proved ineffectual. In the end, he left Nawab Muhammad Khan Bangash, of Farrukhabad, to prosecute the siege, and himself returned to Dehli. Muhammad Khan adjusted the matter by receiving a contribution, and then returned to Farrukhabad. - [Previous: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-saadat-i-jawid~en-elliot.1) - [Next: 2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-saadat-i-jawid~en-elliot.2.2) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-saadat-i-jawid~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-saadat-i-jawid~en-elliot.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-saadat-i-jawid~en-elliot.2.1) · Pramāṇa
