The '''Battle of Jammu''' was a surprise attack launched by [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] General [[Zakariya Khan Bahadur]] against the [[Sikhs]] who were under the leadership of Bhag Singh. The [[Sikhs]] were pursued all the way north to [[Jammu]] by the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] forces. At [[Jammu]], the [[Sikhs]] were met by Jammu King Raja Dhruv Dev (1707-1733), whose father Raja Gaje Singh (1692-1707) accepted Mughal suzerainty during [[Aurangzeb]]'s reign. The [[Sikhs]] were surrounded and killed by the combined [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] and [[Rajput|Jammu Rajput]] forces. Their leader Bhag Singh was then captured and executed by [[Zakariya Khan Bahadur]].
