Aqil Das

The Sikhs strongly disliked Aqil Das due to him being seen as a traitor who spied on the Sikhs, leading to the deaths of prominent Sikh figures. After coming to know about this judgement made against him, Aqil Das sought out the help of Abdali. In January 1762, Sikh fighters then converged onto Jandiala, east of Amritsar. He was a known informant for the Islamic governments working against the Sikhs.'' After coming to learn of the trouble his ally was in, Abdali's forces hurried to Lahore and the next day reached Jandiala to relieve the siege, but by the time they arrived the siege had been lifted and the Sikh besiegers were already gone. == References ==
