She was captured at Chausa by Shir Khan, and here she lost her little girl, 'Aqiqa. The historians all call her Haji Begam in recording her capture; it is only Gul-badan who calls her Bega Begam. She was returned in safety to Humayun under the escort of Shir Khan's best general, Khawas Khan. How soon she was returned I am not able to say. Support is to be found for the view that she was sent to Agra directly after Humayun's arrival there, and also for the view that she was not returned to him until after a considerable time had elapsed.
