He put Fath Khan in prison. In the night, Hindu Biluch with 300 men came out of the mud fort, and attacking the besiegers fiercely, cut their way through by their valour. When it was day, the Afghans occupied the fort. The women of the better sort had been mostly slain by the Biluchis, and the rest the Afghans made slaves; and they took Hindu Biluch and Bakshu Langah prisoners. Haibat Khan then went to the city of Multan, which the Biluchis had laid waste. Haibat Khan restored it to its former state, and the inhabitants who were scattered abroad he again collected together, and he wrote letters to Sher Shah reporting the true condition of the country, and concerning the capture of Fath Khan, Hindu Biluch, and Bakshu Langah. Sher Shah was exceedingly rejoiced, and made him a Masnad 'Ali and gave him the title of 'Azam Humayun. He also gave him a red tent, and wrote to him to repeople Multan, and to observe the customs of the Langahs, and not to measure the land, but take a share of the produce. He ordered him to put Fath Khan and Hindu Biluch to death, to keep Bakshu Langah or his son always with him, but to confirm his districts to him. As soon as 'Azam Humayun received this order at Multan, he left Fath Jang Khan in Multan and came to Lahore, and put Fath Khan and Hindu Biluch to death. - [Previous: 3.20.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.20.4) - [Next: 3.20.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.20.6) - [Up: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.20.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.20.5) · Pramāṇa
