The Battle of Peshawar took place on May 6, 1834, between the Sikh Empire and the Afghans^[1] who were the successors to the Durrani Empire. Maharaj Ranjit Singh had previously won and lost the city of Peshawar twice, and sent General Hari Singh Nalwa to capture it. After brief fighting, Hari Singh Nalwa captured the city and took Sultan Mohammad Khan as a prisoner of war. The news of the capture of Peshawar and Sultan Mohammad Khan quickly reached Kabul.^[1] A large Afghan force under his brother, Dost Mohammad Khan, arrived in support of him, but withdrew.^[1] Hari Singh Nalwa then, as a gesture of goodwill, installed Sultan Mohammad Khan as governor of the city, and as a vassal to Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
