Initially tasked with collecting chauth from Bengal, Sheo Bhatt resumed raiding Bengal after Mir Qasim, the new Nawab, failed to pay. Sheo Bhatt attacked [[Birbhum]], [[Burdwan]], and Midnapur, leading to British military response. Despite Sheo Bhatt's claims that these territories belonged to [[Orissa]] and his occasional attempts at reconciliation, the British remained cautious and sought to expel the Marathas from Orissa. They planned an expedition with Nawab [[Mir Qasim]]'s financial support, but the Nawab later withdrew. In 1763, Sheo Bhatt supported [[Mir Qasim]] against the British, but after assurances from the British, he ceased support. Despite efforts to resolve the chauth payments, no settlement was reached before Sheo Bhatt's tenure ended. | |||
