Biographical
After the rebellious Prince Shah Jahan invaded Orissa, he offered Fath
Jang a large jagir in return for Bengal, but Fath Jang remained loyal
the emperor. Shah Jahan invaded, and during the battle of Rajmahal, both
sides incurred heavy losses. After Fath Jang's forces began to desert
him, he was left in a weak position, and was soon killed by the prince's
forces. His property and holdings were claimed by the prince.
