But before the prince could arrive, the Jat leader committed more atrocities. Early in 1688, Mir Ibrahim of Haidarabad (newly entitled Mahabat Khan) was marching to his viceroyalty of the Panjab. Near Sikandra he was encamped on the bank of the Jamuna, when Rajaram attacked him, but was repulsed after a long and stubborn fight with the loss of 400 men, while the Mughals lost 190 in killed and wounded. Rajaram soon returned to the scene, and profiting by the delay in the coming of Shaista Khan, the new subahdar of Agra, he plundered Akbar's tomb,* taking away its carpets, gold and silver vessels, &c., and damaging the building. Khan-i-Jahan did nothing to check him.
