Sheo Bhatt who was appointed as the first [[Hindu]] [[Maratha]] governer of [[Orrisa]] was deeply upset by the conspiracy against him and was resolved to seek revenge. He instructed Janoji to have Mirza Saleh collect the full amount of chauth from Mir Jafar. However, Mirza Saleh did not comply. Consequently, Sheo Bhatt offered to collect the chauth from the Nawab if he were appointed Subahdar of [[Orissa]]. [[Janoji Bhonsle]] agreed to this offer, but Sheo Bhatt was delayed at Nagpur and could not assume his new office immediately. He managed to secure a parwana from [[Janoji Bhonsle]] for Chimna Sau to govern [[Orissa]], and Chimna Sau arrived at [[Cuttack]], where he took control of part of the Barabati fort.
