Lohgarh Faces Second Assault After the death of emperor Bahadar Shah due to insanity caused by Sikh war, Jahandar Shah became the next Mughal emperor in April 1712 AD. On April 23rd , 1712 AD , Mohammad Amir Khan was tasked with persuading the Sikhs in Lohgarh to submit to Mughal authority. By May 5th , 1712 AD , General Banda Singh Bahadar had taken up residence in the Lohgarh fort and the Sikhs had established police posts in suba Lahore and Delhi. Despite this, Mohammad Amir Khan lacked the resolve to launch another attack on Lohgarh. The Mughal forces did initiate attacks in May 1712 AD , continuing for almost four months, but they achieved no significant success. Thousands of Mughal soldiers were killed by the Sikh forces, and by October 1712 AD, the Mughal forces retreated from the Lohgarh zone.
