(Alamgirnamah, 500). But the Tarikh-i-Shujai does not support the charge. It says, "Mirza Sarajuddin Muhammad, a confidential servant of the Prince, offered to bring Alawardi, went to the latter, and told him all the case (haqiqat-i-hal). The latter had no help but to come with one or two mansabdars engaged in the same plot." (f. 115a). I have accepted his account as more likely to be true under the circumstances. Alawardi had no chance of escape if he resisted arrest. - [Previous: v2.c29.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c29.40) - [Next: v2.c29.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c29.42) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c29.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c29.41) · Pramāṇa
