v3.c42.7
This encounter happened in the morning of the 23rd of August, within sight of all the people of Delhi. The Emperor was now induced to open friendly parleys with Ghulām Qādir by sending his slave Tamkin to him. On hearing of it, Sindhia’s two agents fled away from Delhi that night. The city mob rose against them, and 20 camels laden with Deshmukh’s property and some carts conveying Nizām-ud-din’s treasure and belongings were plundered by the soldiery. Next day the Emperor placed Shah Nizām-ud-din’s house under attachment and threw his brother into prison. [DC. DY. i. 227.]
