| The '''Battle of Peshawar''' took place on May 6, 1834, between the [[Sikh Empire]] and the [[Afghans]]<ref name="TJ"/> 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]].<ref name="TJ">{{cite book|last=Jaques|first=Tony.|title=Dictionary of Battles and Sieges|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sbMFCZyAcnQC|accessdate=31 July 2010|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=9780313335365|page=790}}</ref> A large [[Afghan]] force under his brother, [[Dost Mohammad Khan]], arrived in support of him, but withdrew.<ref name="TJ"/> 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]].
