Fall of the Mughal Empire v2.c28.s11.2

v2.c28.s11.2

∗ The promises made to the qiladar and his troops were broken and those men were languishing in poverty, when Wendel wrote in 1768, the reason being that the Jat Rajah called upon the qiladar to render full accounts of the enormous imperial property hitherto kept in his custody and accused him of defalcation. [Wendel, p. 86.] Chahar Gulzar, 454b, says that the qiladar Fāzil Kh. remained faithful to his charge, but Musa Beg, the keeper of the gates, opened them for 3 lakhs to the Jats, who punished his treachery by imprisonment, (? confounded with the surrender of Farrukhnagar by Musavi Khan Baluch in Dec. 1763.)
