Background

In 1763, Jahan Khan attempted to regain some of his lost territory.[2] After Charat Singh previously occupied Gujranwala in 1761, the route to Kabul was blocked. Jahan Khan, the Nawab of Lahore decided to besiege Gujranwala. 30,000 troops surrounded the city on all sides. One thousand men were trapped inside it.[1] This all happened in November 1763.[3]

Siege

The Afghan troops of 30,000 encircled the city by all sides and their strength kept increasing. In the city, 200 soldiers were under Charat Singh. At night, the 200 soldiers attacked the enemy and raged hao among the enemy lines. Jahan Khan managed to escape horseback. As he was escaping to Lahore, the Sikhs rushed after him in hot pursuit. Plenty of treasure landed in Charat's hands and more Sikhs joined him.[1]

Aftermath

Following this victory, the Sikhs sacked Malerkotla and Morinda.[2] Gujranwala was made the Sukerchakia Misl capital after this battle.[4]
