Turning from the desolated villages round Saharanpur, Malhar crossed the Jamunā at Rāmrā Ghat, looted Karnāl and Tilāuri, and sat down before Kunjpura demanding tribute. Nejābat Khan, the zamindar of this fortalice, was helpless, as the country outside had been devastated as far as Thāneshwar. He agreed to pay five lakhs,—three lakhs to Malhar, one to Ahmad Bangash, and half a lakh to Dilel Singh, the wazir’s diwan.
