History

The Nawab was supported by troops of the British East India Company, in a successful campaign brought about by the Rohillas reneging on a debt to the Nawab.The Rohillas under Hafiz Rahmat Ali Khan[1] were defeated by Colonel Alexander Champion in April 1774. The decisive battle, in which Hafiz Rahmat Khan died, was at Miranpur Katra, Tilhar on 23 April.[2] Later, for very short period of time, it came under the control of Marathas.
