The Capture of Peshawar took place in the spring of 1758 [1] when the Sikh Confederacy and the Maratha Empire defeated the Afghan forces led by Timur Shah Durrani. [2] [3] [4] [5] The Marathas and Sikhs were victorious and Peshawar was annexed into the Maratha Empire. [4] [6] [5] Before that, the fort of Peshawar was being guarded by Afghan troops under Timur Shah Durrani and Jahan Khan. When Raghunathrao and Malhar Rao Holkar left for the Deccan, Tukoji Rao Holkar was given the charge of Peshawar with 10,000 Maratha troops. [7]
Peshawar was captured on 8 May 1758 by the Maratha Empire from the Durrani Empire. The Marathas were victorious in the campaign in the province and Peshawar was captured. After being defeated by the army of Marathas, the Durranis with Jahan Khan and Timur Shah Durrani left the fort and fled to Afghanistan. [8] [5]
The Marathas, assisted by Sikhs, defeated the Afghans and captured Attock, Peshwar and Multan in the spring of 1758.
However, Timur Shah was driven out of Peshawar in 1758 following his defeat by the Maratha Empire.
Other contemporary Persian records mention that "Tukoji and other cavalry officers sent by Rao Malharji Holkar and Rao Jankoji Sindhia arrived at Peshawar."
The Marathas attacked soon after and, with some help from the Sikhs, managed to capture Attock, Peshawar, and Multan between April and May 1758.
Subsequently , Tukoji Holkar , with 10,000 Maratha soldiers , was posted at Peshawar and Narsoji Pandit took charge of the fort of Attock with a contingent of 4,000 troops.
