As the Aceh Sultanate's influence was then weakening in various regions of Sumatra, Perunggit took the opportunity to make Deli independent.[3][6] He first gained support from the Dutch East India Company in Malacca, and in 1667 sent envoys directly to its headquarters in Batavia.[6] In 1669, Perunggit announced that Deli was independent from Aceh's realm.[3][6]
Perunggit was married to the sister of the Sukapiring chieftain.[4] After he died, his rule was continued by his son, Tuanku Panglima Paderap.[2][4]
