Mīrzā Sharaf-ud-dīn Husain, one of the members of the conspiracy which had compassed the death of Atga Khān, had fled from court in 1562 to his assignment at Nāgaur and thence to Gujarāt, where he had joined the Mīrzās. After their discomfiture he had gone towards the Deccan but had been captured by the Rājā of Bāglān, who was now called upon to surrender him. He complied and Akbar’s envoys brought the fugitive, on 4 March, to the camp before Sūrat. They were accompanied by Rājā ‘Alī Khān, brother of Muhammad II of Khāndesh, who had been sent to do homage to Akbar. Sharaf-ud-dīn Husain was intimidated by being thrown before the feet of a harmless elephant, and was then imprisoned.
