The Atai Khan's attack Meerut was a military Skirmish initiated by Emperor Ahmed Shah Durrani in an attempt to capture Govind Pant Bundele, who had taken refuge in Meerut. [3] [4]Emperor Ahmad Shah Abdali dispatched Atai Khan with a small army of Afghans to Meerut. Govind Pant Bundele was ready to face the Afghan forces with his light cavalry of ten thousand soldiers. A fierce battle ensued between the two adversaries in Meerut.
On the afternoon of October 26th, a significant battle erupted in Samalkha [3]. The Afghan forces were under the direct command of the emperor, while the Marathas were led by Govind Pant Bundele. [5]The Afghans gained victory in the battle, prompting Govind Pant Bundele to be executed. [3] After the confrontation, Govind Pant Bundele sought refuge in Meerut. [3] Subsequently, the emperor deployed Atai Khan, along with the elite cavalry, to apprehend Govind Pant Bundele in Meerut. [3] [6]
In later encounters, Govind Pant Bundele, together with 10,000 informally trained cavalry who were not officially enlisted as soldiers, was involved in a foraging mission with around 500 men. [5] They were ambushed by an Afghan force near Meerut, resulting in a clash in which Govind Pant Bundele was killed by Atai Khan. [7] [8] This was further aggravated by the loss of a detachment of 2,000 Maratha troops who had left Delhi on a mission to transport funds and provisions to Panipat. [9] [10]
The passing of Govind Pant Bundele greatly distressed Sadashiv Rao Bhau. [11] He mourned the loss of around 22000 inhabitants within the Maratha empire. [3] Subsequently, the Maratha armies confronted Afghan forces at the battlefield of Panipat, resulting in a historical defeat. [12]
