Background
After capturing Mustafabad, Banda Singh Bahadur heard about Kapuri's leader Qadam-ud-din and his reportedly immoral life[1] and persecution of Hindus and Sikhs.[2] He meddled with Hindu marriages and kidnapped young brides.[3] Banda was prepared to attack and capture Sadhuara but he decided to deal with Kapuri first since it was only four kilometres away from his destination.[4]
Battle
The Sikhs attacked Kapuri before capturing Sadhuara. Banda Singh burned down the Kapuri fort[5] and killed Qadam-ud-din and many of his soldiers.[6][7] They plundered the city and liberated the Hindus.[8]
Aftermath
Banda Singh Bahadur and his army attacked Sadhaura and its ruler Osman Khan, defeating the Mughals.[9]
