In the time of Ranjit Singh (1768-1806 CE), Musa Khan made secret preparations and attacked Farrukhnagar with a force of 1,500 men. As they were unable to directly face Jat army, Musa put his troops into palki carriages dressed as veiled woman, and sent them towards Farrukhnagar like a marriage procession. The procession went on thus to Baqargah (or Kandri), near Najafgarh at a distance of 8 kos from Farrukhnagar. Near this place was a fort called Shahjahanabad full of the Jat Rajas troops, who came out unarmed to see this marriage procession. The Nawab's veiled men suddenly came out of the carriages, and fell up on the unarmed unaware men of Jat Raja. Baloch took the Shahjahanabad fort and reached Farrukhnagar that night, and besieged.
