About the same time, either by design or accident, seven or eight thousand horsemen of dismissed mansabdars went to the houses of Muhammad Amin Khan Bakhshi, Khan-dauran the deputy of Amiru-l umara, and Mir Jumla, complaining and demanding their arrears of pay, * * For four or five days bodies of horsemen appeared in the streets and bazars armed and prepared for battle. On the other side the officers of Saiyid 'Abdu-llah, with suitable forces, ready accoutred and mounted on elephants and horses, held themselves ready for a conflict until night-fall. Mir Jumla was bewildered, and not knowing which way to turn, he went and took refuge in the house of Muhammad Amin Khan. The arrows of censure were aimed at him from all sides, and he knew not what to do. At length it was deemed expedient, in order to quell the disturbance and pacify Kutbu-l Mulk, that the Emperor should look with anger upon Mir Jumla, diminish his mansab, remove him from the suba of 'Azimabad (Patna), and appoint him to that of the Panjab. Sarbuland Khan was named Subadar of 'Azimabad and Nizamu-l Mulk Bahadur Fath Jang was appointed Faujdar of Muradabad, to repress the disorder which reigned there.
