After the battle Humāyūn demanded the surrender of the important fortress, Chunār, from Sher Khān, who had failed to support Mahmūd Lodī, and had promised obedience to the Mughuls. On his refusal Humāyūn prepared to besiege Chunār, but was diverted by news of the raid made by Tātār Khān as related in chapter ii (p. 23) and set out for Gujarāt accompanied by Qutb Khān, son of Sher Khān, with a small force.
