v2.c22.s7.14

the Afghan division under Jahān Khan worked its way down the Jamunā from Luni and crossed over to the west bank, some miles south of the capital on 21st January. A small force detached 13 miles further south to Faridabad to bar the trunk road at that point was cut off by Antāji Mānakeshwar, and for a week or ten days the Afghan advance to the south was stayed. But Najib’s army crossed into the Doab (24th) and Abdali himself entered Delhi on 28th January.
