v1.c6.s21.4

Owing to the death of Shams Khan, the inhabitants of the Bari Duab, especially of Batala and Kalanaur, two important towns, fled from their homes, with their families and such property as they could remove, taking refuge in Lahor or other places of safety. As soon as the Sikhs found that the towns and villages were not defended, they placed in them armed posts and slaughtered all those upon whom they could lay hands. A force was also sent by them across the river Ravi to devastate the Rachnau Duab; Aurangabad, Parsaror, and other places were taken and many houses burnt.†
