As Banda Bahadur entered Haryana, the Sikhs joined him in large numbers. He looted Sonepat, Kaithal, Samana, Ghuram, Shahabad, Mustafabad, Kapuri and Sadhaura. In the mean time, the armed peasants from the central districts of the Punjab converged towards Sarhind. On 24 May 1710 Sarhind was sacked and thus the murder of Guru Gobind Singh's sons avenged. By the autumn of 1710 the whole of Jalandhar Doab was liberated by Banda's followers. The peasant revolt then spread from Doaba to Majha, the central Punjab.
