A golden opportunity soon presented itself to Mirza Baqar, the Beturn of Mish, who quickly acted to undermine Saulat Jang’s authority. He incited Saulat Jang’s enemies to openly rebel and marched from the Deccan with a force of hired Maratha infantry to recover [[Orissa]]. Several of Saulat Jang’s supporters were captured during the campaign and sent as prisoners to the fort of Baribaṭi. | |||
According to Karam Ali, Mirza Baqar intended to assassinate Saulat Jang but was stopped by his wife, who persuaded him against committing the act. Meanwhile, the victorious army from [[Cuttack]] continued its advance, occupying the regions of Midnapur and Hijli. | |||
