After the conquest of Bihar, Bakhtiyar turned his attention to Bengal, which was ruled by Lakshmansena. Leaving his army behind, with only eighteen horsemen, Bakhtiyar surprised Lakshmansena at his dinner. Lakshmansena fled in panic, and his wives, maidservants and treasure fell into the hands of the invader. Bakhtiyar destroyed Nuddea, the capital of Bengal, and established the seat of his government at Lakhnawti.
