The faujdar of pargana Kulpak, which is seven or eight kos from Shahpur, sent Kasim Khan Afghan with a suitable force to apprehend him. * * Pap Rai from time to time confronted this force, and, seizing his opportunity, attacked one of the villages of Kulpak; but Kasim Khan fell upon him, killed a number of his men, and put him to flight. He proceeded to another hill of refuge, and Kasim Khan, while following him, was killed by a musket-ball, and his force was then driven back. * * Another force besieged him and Sarwa in Shahpur for two months, but he escaped. The fort of Shahpur was then destroyed; but after the withdrawal of the forces, Pap Rai and Sarwa returned, and instead of the old mud fort, built a new one of stone and chunam, which they furnished with cannon and implements of war. * *
