In June, while he was still at Jalesar, the eunuch Malik Sarvar, Khvāja Jahān, who had been left as regent at Delhi, reported that Islām Khān, who had been appointed minister, was about to leave Delhi for Lahore, in order to head a rebellion in the Punjab. Muhammad hastily returned and taxed Islām Khān with harbouring treasonable designs. He protested his innocence, but the faithlessness of his conduct towards Abu Bakr was fresh in the memory of all, his nephew appeared as a witness against him, and he was put to death.
