Takmilah i Akbar-namah 27: Capture of Urcha.

27

Shaikh 'Abdu-r Rahman and Khwaja 'Abdu-lla reported that they had succeeded in taking the fort of Urcha, one of the strongest in Hindustan, and that the rebel, Bar Singh Deo, had been driven to hide himself like a snake among the wilds, to escape the pursuit of the Imperial warriors. Shortly afterwards another despatch was received from the same chiefs, stating that as the enemy had poisoned all the wells, and 1000 men had died of fever, they had been compelled to abandon Urcha as a place of residence.
