v3.c24.81

Haidar Shāh was a worthless and drunken wretch who entirely neglected public business and permitted his ministers to misgovern his people as they would. His indulgence of their misconduct was tempered by violent outbursts of wrath which alienated them from him, and his elder brother Ādam Khān, learning of his unpopularity, returned towards Kashmīr with a view to seizing the throne, but on reaching Jammū was discouraged by the news of the death of Hasan Kachhī and other nobles on whose support he had reckoned, and who had been put to death on the advice of a barber named Lūlī. He remained at Jammū, and, in assisting the raja to expel some invaders from his dominions, received a wound from the effects of which he died.
