Mir Sadiq held the post of a minister in the cabinet of Tipu Sultan of Mysore. In the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1798–99, he allegedly betrayed Tipu Sultan during the Siege of Srirangapatana, paving the way for a British victory. Gudu was killed by some of the dismayed Mysorean troops immediately following the defeat as he attempted to go over to welcome the British.[1]

According to Muhammad Iqbal, “Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq were a disgrace to faith, a disgrace to humanity, and a disgrace to the motherland, who were instrumental in the defeat and death of Nawab Siraj-Ud-Daulah of Bengal and Tipu Sultan of Mysore respectively by betraying them for the benefit of the British”.[2]
