But the effect of the capture of the Maratha capital was nullified by the flight of Rajaram to Jinji, and the Emperor had to depute Zulfiqar Khan, immediately after his return from Raigarh, to follow the Maratha king to the East Coast. The only other important operations of 1689 were the siege and capture of Raichur (10 July—29 November) by Ruhullah Khan, the unsuccessful pursuit of Rajaram by some local Mughal officers in the Bijapur and Bellary districts, and the invasion of Bednur by Jan Nisar Khan to compel the surrender of the fugitive Maratha Rajah, which, however, was frustrated by Santa.
