Earlier[clarification needed] Malik Ambar had ceded territories of Ahmednagar and Berar to Mughals however in 1617 A.D he broke the treaty with Mughals, In 1619 A.D he along with his Bargi troops commanded by Maloji laid a Siege to the Fort of Ahmednagar which he had lost to Mughals.[1]
Khanjar Khan the governor of the fort fled to Darab Khan the governor of Berar. There were three pitched battles fought between Mughals and Ambar in which Mughals emerged victorious but they were unable to take advantage of the victories as the Maratha troops of Malik Ambar gather again and carried out surprise attacks on them.[2] At the end they retreated towards Balapur and Malik Ambar within three months recaptured Ahmednagar and Berar.[3][4][5]
