The Capture of Peshawar took place in the spring of 1758[1] when the Sikh Confederacy and the Maratha Empire defeated the Afghan forces led by Timur Shah Durrani.[2][3][4][5] The Marathas and Sikhs were victorious and Peshawar was annexed into the Maratha Empire.[4][6][5] Before that, the fort of Peshawar was being guarded by Afghan troops under Timur Shah Durrani and Jahan Khan. When Raghunathrao and Malhar Rao Holkar left for the Deccan, Tukoji Rao Holkar was given the charge of Peshawar with 10,000 Maratha troops.[7]

Aftermath

Peshawar was captured on 8 May 1758 by the Maratha Empire from the Durrani Empire. The Marathas were victorious in the campaign in the province and Peshawar was captured. After being defeated by the army of Marathas, the Durranis with Jahan Khan and Timur Shah Durrani left the fort and fled to Afghanistan.[8][5]
