v2.c22.s7.24

∗ Abdali’s exactions and atrocities in Delhi,—*DC.*, *TALS.* 99-102a. Imād in *Ind. Antiq.*, 1907, 47-48. *Husain Shahi* 36-37. *SPD.* xxi. 99, 104, 118, xxvii. 144. Imād secured as his patron Shah Wali Khan the Durrani wazir (one of his female relatives being in the latter’s harem.) Intizām bought the support of the Durrani sardar Jahān Khan, the rival of the wazir. When Intizām failed to pay his promised tribute, Jahān Khan felt humiliated before his master and therefore severely chastised Intizām. [*Husain Shahi*, 36. *Ind. Ant.* 45.]
