At the instigation of the Khan of Agror of the Swati tribe, a newly built police station was burnt by a raid of The Black Mountain (Tor Ghar) Tribes, Akazais, trans-border Swati tribesmen such as the Pariari Sayyids etc., and the Chagharzais. This was not tolerated, and a punitive expedition was led against the Pariari Sayyids, Nandihar, Deshiwals, Tikariwals, Hasanzai, Akazais and Chagharzais.[1][2]
