Being convinced that Ibrāhīm was not prepared to honour the terms offered by Ādam Khan, Jalāl Khan fled to seek shelter with the Raja of Gwalior.⁵² Ibrāhīm returned to Agra. His power was firmly established. His only rival was lying low, with no chances of recuperation. The nobles who had earlier opposed him were asking for pardon and joining his service.⁵³ Since the death of Sikandar Shāh, Ibrāhīm had not been able to pay any attention to administrative affairs. Now he found time to look to that side also. He sent Haibat Khan Gurgandāz, Karīmdād Taugh and Daulat Khan Indārā⁵⁴ to administer Delhi. Shaikhzādā Manjhū⁵⁵ was despatched to wrest Chanderi from the grandson of Mahmūd Mālwi "who had failed, since Sikandar's death, to acknowledge in an adequate manner the sovereignty of Delhi".⁵⁶
