The Book of Akbar 16: Sher Shah occupies Bengal. (See Vol. V. p. 204.)

[Text, vol. i. p. 194.] [After the battle of Chaunsa], Sher Khan resolved upon getting possession of Bengal, and marched as far as the frontier of Bihar. There he stopped, and sent his son Jalal Khan with a detachment on this expedition. In a short time he met Jahangir Kuli Beg, and the latter fought bravely. But the decrees of fate were against him, and the amirs of Bengal did not show proper spirit in opposing the rebels. Fond of their ease, they rendered no support to Jahangir Kuli. Unable to succeed in the field, Jahangir Kuli sought refuge with the zamindars, and he and many of his followers were killed. At ease as to Bengal, Sher Khan advanced, and got possession of Jaunpur. He then sent his younger son Kutb Khan against Kalpi and Etawa.
