A dispute over the possession of land and plans to erect a building ensued between the Guru and a [[Khatri]] Chaudhary named Bhagwan Das. Accordingly, Bhagwan Das attacked the Guru's camp and was subsequently killed in the fight. Das' son, Rattan Chand, and Karam Chand, the son of [[Chandu Shah]] (an antipathetic figure in Sikh tradition), forged an alliance and incited the [[Faujdar]] of [[Jalandhar]], Abdul Khan, to send an expedition against Guru Hargobind. The Sikhs fought and defeated the contingent of 4,000 Mughal troops sent by Abdul Khan, near the [[Beas River]]. The Sikh General Jattu as well as Abdul Khan and his sons were killed in the fighting.<ref>{{Cite book \|last=Singh \|first=Fauja \|url=https://archive.org/details/guru-tegh-bahadur-martyr-and-teacher \|title=Guru Tegh Bahadur: Martyr and teacher \|publisher=Publication Bureau Punjabi university, PATIALA \|year=1975 \|page=10}}</ref><ref name=":0"/><ref name=":1"/>
