Malik Hamīduddīn then rounded up all the confederates of Hājī Maulā, from whom he recovered all the money they had received from the traitor, and restored it to the royal exchequer. While this inquisitorial process was going on Ulugh Khān arrived from Ranthambhor, and put to death all the rebel captives "making a torrent of blood to flow." Determined as he was to extirpate the rebels as also to set an example for the people, he put an end to the line of Malikul Umara Fakhruddīn, the former kotvāl of Delhi. The descendants of the kotvāl had no concern with the revolt; their only fault was that Hājī Maulā had been their man in days gone by.
