Meanwhile his ministers Taqarrub Khan and Ahsan Khan had quarrelled. The former now sent another commandant to replace Sayyid Jafar at Kulbarga. Sayyid Jafar refused to give possession and even when Kam Bakhsh in person reached the place, he still delayed delivery for several days. The discredit of this disobedience fell upon Ahsan Khan. The general had established a ganj or market-place calling it by his own name, and in order to attract traders he gave public notice that no dues would be levied. Taqarrub Khan represented that these measures affected the prosperity of the imperial market-place, Shahganj. Kam Bakhsh ordered Ahsan Khan to abolish his market. The general, although he complied, was exceedingly vexed at such a rebuff after all that he had done, and breaking the flagstaff of his market-place, sent the pieces to Taqarrub Khan.
