The Capture of Delhi, fought in 1760, pitted the forces of the Maratha Confederacy against those of the Durrani Empire led by Yakub Ali Khan.

[3] Bhau, accompanied by his allies, arrived in Agra on July 14 but was forced to abandon his plan of negotiating with Govind Ballal due to the high floods of the Jamuna river.

Bhau's advance guard, led by Malharrao, Jankoji, and Balwantrao Mehendele, attacked Delhi on July 22.

[4] One hundred Maratha soldiers entered the fort undetected and began plundering the royal apartments.

The fort was besieged and bombarded, and on July 27, Bhau arrived in Delhi on July 29[5] and negotiated peace terms with Yaqub Ali Khan, allowing him to depart safely with his family, property, and troops.
