c6.s1.34

Sultan Muhammad now felt strong enough to crush Abū Bakr completely. In December, 1390 (Muharram, 793 H)²⁵ he sent his Vazīr, Islām Khan, and Prince Humayūn against Abū Bakr and they defeated the latter at the village of Mahindwārī.²⁶ Meanwhile Muhammad himself arrived with reinforcements at the Kotla and compelled Abū Bakr and Bahadur Nāhar to surrender. Bahadur was pardoned, but Abū Bakr was sent a prisoner to Meerut where he died shortly after.²⁷
