Todar Mal was summoned from Bengal to suppress this rebellion and on his departure a rebellion broke out there. It was led by members of the Qāqshāl tribe of Turks and rapidly spread over the whole province. The Qāqshāls proclaimed Muhammad Hakīm as their sovereign, and Muzaffar Khān attempted to conciliate them by promising that the unpopular reforms would not be enforced. He might have succeeded in restoring peace had they not discovered his design of putting them to death at a conference to which he had invited them. They slew his emissaries and besieged him in Tāndā, and when the rebels in Bihār defeated a force which he had sent to defend Teliyāgarhī they attacked Tāndā, captured him and put him to death.
