History of the Maratʾha wars in Hindustan 15: Assassination of Sindhia Jankuji.

15

Rao Kashi Nath, on seeing Jankuji, who was a youth of twenty, with a handsome countenance, and at that time had his wounded hand hanging in a sling from his neck, became deeply grieved, and the tears started from his eyes. * * Jankuji raised his head and exclaimed : "It is better to die with one's friends than to live among one's enemies."
The Nawab, in unison with Shah Wali Khan, solicited the Shah to spare Jankuji's life; whereupon, the Shah summoned Barkhurdar Khan, and consulted him on the propriety of the step, to which the Khan in question returned a decided negative. At the same time, one of the Durranis, at Barkhurdar Khan's suggestion, went and cut Jankuji's throat, and buried him underground inside the very tent in which he was imprisoned.
