Husain ‘Alī marched to Āgra and pressed on its siege vigorously. The walls and even the pearl mosque were damaged by his fire, but no breach or mine was completed. After a month the garrison began to suffer from scarcity of provisions. Nikū-siyar’s brother, in trying to escape, was captured. At last, on 12 August, the fort was surrendered, Nikū-siyar was sent to another state prison and Mitra Sen committed suicide.
