Event
Ahmad Shah Durrani's army on its way…
Ahmad Shah Durrani's army on its way to Delhi is stopped at Manupur, fifteen kilometers northwest of Sirhind, by Mughal forces under Prince Ahmad Shah Bahadur.
The invaders' artillery store catches fire in the battle and roasts thousands of Durrani soldiers alive.
Ahmad Shah Durrani must therefore retreat at night.
The panicked Mughal forces do not chase them but the invaders are harassed by Sikh bands under Charat Singh and Baba Ala Singh, a Jat Sikh chieftain.
Sikhs loot their booty and horses while they are on the way back to Kabul.
