At the end of the combat, the Bengal's commander, Abdul Aziz had surrendered to the Marathas and they got the possession of the Barabāțī fort at Cuttack.[8] After the battle, Raghuji Bhonsle demanded a fine of 3 crores from Alivardi Khan for the losses in war and the assasination of his brave Maratha general.[9]
Background
[edit]Raghuji's Eastern Expedition
Raghuji launched a vigorous campaign against Alivardi Khan in 1745 for the retaliation of the death of his trusted commander general, Pandit Bhaskar Ram.[10] As soon as Raghoji Bhosale came to know that Alivardi khan came towards Cuttack, he left Nagpur and arrived near Cuttack following his Eastern Campaign.[11] Raghuji with his 14,000[12] Maratha cavalry troops invaded and captured Cuttack.[13][14] Rai Duralabh Ram was taken as prisoner of war and Abdul Aziz fought for long but at last, he surrendered. The Marathas successfully captured the Cuttack's fort and all Orissa upto Medinipur fell under the control of the Maratha Empire.[15][16][17]
