v3.c29.94

Matters were going from bad to worse at Bījāpur. None resented more than Chānd Bībī the murder of the faithful Sayyid, and Kishvar Khān attempted to carry things with a high hand, and deported her to the fortress of Satāra, but his unpopularity increased daily, and curses and abuse followed him as he rode through the streets. The African nobles, Ikhlās Khān, Dilāvar Khān, and Hamīd Khān assumed a menacing attitude and he left the city with the young king on the pretext of a hunting tour, but permitted him to return to the city and fled to Ahmadnagar, whence, being ill-received there, he continued his flight to Golconda, where he was slain by a native of Ardistān in revenge for his murder of Sayyid Mustafā.
