Mubārak then marched to Gwalior on his usual errand, and, after collecting an instalment of tribute, returned towards Delhi by way of Bayāna, still held by Muhammad Auhadī, who, on May 11, evacuated the fortress and retired into Mewāt. Mahmūd Hasan was invested with the fief of Bayāna and Mubārak returned to Delhi, where he found that his prisoner Qaddū, the grandson of Bahādur Nāhir, had been in secret correspondence with Ibrāhīm during the late campaign. He was put to death and his execution led to a fresh rebellion in Mewāt headed by his brother, Jalāl Khān.
