Tara Chand had been exploiting the local Pashtun population by charging exorbitant taxes and committing various atrocities. In response, Malik Dilasa Khan, along with other Pashtun tribesmen, rose up against Tara Chand's rule and challenged him to a battle.[1]
Malik Dilasa Khan and his followers managed to defeat Tara Chand's forces, leading to Jai Singh Atariwala death and the Pashtuns taking control of the region.[2][3]

The 8,000 strong Sikh Invading army was repulsed and fled into Punjab.[4] The Pashtuns/Afghans controlled the region until 1840, and the Sikh Empire was unable to obtain taxes from Malik Dilasa khan.
