v4.c55.s6.3
When Ambāji Inglé left Karnāl in June 1787 to join his master at Lālsot, his deputy Shyām Rao Bakhshi held charge of the north-Delhi district in name only, and could save himself from the swarming Sikh allies of Ghulām Qādir and the treacherous Bāghel Singh, only with the help of Begam Samru's troops. During Ghulām Qādir's ascendancy, the Sikhs professed to be his allies, but plundered his estates as ruthlessly as the imperial dominions.
