Shaista Khan's Mughal forces emerged victorious by besieging the Chakan fort, leading to the surrender of the Maratha commander Firangoji.[1]

Background

In 1660, Shaista Khan, the Mughal governor of Deccan invaded Pune, subsequently capturing and occupying the city. Consequently, he seized the northern segment of Shivaji's territories and stationed a garrison there.[2] Shaista Khan was Aurangzeb's maternal uncle.[3]

The fort of Chakan was under the Maratha leader Firangoji Narsala. Shaista Khan marched towards the Chakan fort and besieged the fort for four months.[2] The Mughals attacked and destroyed a part of wall by bombarding a mine. Chakan succumbed to a violent two-day assault, resulting in the massacre of most of the garrison, and Firangoji ultimately surrendered.[1]
