Sabaji's raids in Bengal

Meanwhile, Janoji, who was engaged in military operations in Bengal, was compelled to head back to Nagpur due to the passing of his mother. In his place, Raghuji sent his third son, Sabaji, to continue the campaign. Sabaji teamed up with Mir Habib, and together they intensified their efforts to trouble the Nawab from all directions. The pressure grew so overwhelming that the Nawab’s politically astute wife urged him to seek a settlement with the Marathas.[1][2][3]
