In the meantime one Mirza Muzaffar Bakht son of Jawan Bakht, claimed to be the heir-apparent (Vali-Ahad) of the Emperor and came to Poona in 1789 asking the Peshwa's support for being installed at Delhi. He lived at Poona and other places for several years ; but as he failed to obtain Mahadji's support, Nana Phadnis alone could not countenance his efforts, and he died in want some time in 1795. How Mahadji was distracted by such incidents in the midst of the war he was conducting against the Rajputs can be easily understood.
