Tughluq sent Bahādur a prisoner to Delhi and himself set out for Tughluqābād, the capital which he had built for himself to the south of Old Delhi. He attacked on his way the raja of Tirhut, whose loyalty was doubtful, and reduced him to submission, and from Tirhut travelled towards the capital by forced marches, leaving the army to follow at its leisure.
