Shaikhā the Khokar had sworn allegiance to Tīmūr after the defeat of his brother Jusrat, but had broken his promise to join the invading army, had given it no assistance, and had insolently ignored the presence in Lahore of Hindū Shāh¹, Tīmūr’s treasurer, who had come from Samarqand to join him in India. An expedition was sent to Lahore, the city was captured and held to ransom, and Shaikhā was led before Tīmūr, who put him to death.
