v1.c16.s7.9

A host of men, including soldiers, sightseers, and bazār people, were slain or had their houses burnt down and their property looted both in the Khās Bazār and also in the Khāri Bāoli quarter,—where another body of Badakhshis had looted, killed and burnt during the course of this night’s street fighting, before they were defeated and driven out by the Lahor Gate. Next morning Delhi looked like a city taken by storm and sacked.*
