The royal troops were permitted to sack the city of Daulatābād and plunder the defenceless inhabitants, the Muslims among whom were sent as prisoners to Delhi with dispatches announcing a great victory over the rebels. The king then opened the siege of the citadel and sent ‘Imād-ul-Mulk Sartīz, who had been governor of Ellichpur when the rebellion broke out and had fled to court, to Gulbarga to crush the rebellion in that region.
