[Kashiraj.] Ibrāhim Khan Gārdi, also badly wounded, took refuge in Shujā's camp, but the Durrāni soldiers demanded the execution of this Muslim ally of the infidels, and the Shah yielded to their clamour.

Another notable general, Antāji Mānakeshwar, on his way home was killed by the Baluch lords of Farrukhnagar, as also was Bāji Hari.
