Contemporary narratives state that despite his imprisonment, the Sur rulers failed to bring the Gakhar territory under full control, and the chiefship passed to Sultan Adam. Mughal chronicles record a dramatic episode during Kamal Khan's confinement in which Salim Shah allegedly ordered prisoners in [[Gwalior Fort]] to be killed by detonating gunpowder beneath the prison. According to the account, the explosion destroyed the structure and killed its inmates, but Kamal Khan survived unharmed in a corner of the prison. The source attributes his survival to divine protection and states that, upon hearing of this, Salim Shah released him after administering oaths. This episode is reported as part of the narrative tradition of the period.<ref name=":0" /></ins></div></td></tr>
