Humayun managed to escape his brother's clutches though and sought refuge in the court of the ruler of Persia, Shah Tahmasp I.

Humayun was able to enter Kabul in November 1545 in a bloodless takeover, as Kamran's rule had been oppressive, and the population of the city was keen to be rid of him.

After his ignominious flight, Kamran managed to retake Kabul twice, but he remained a hated figure to the residents of the city, as his periods of rule involved atrocities against large numbers of them.

[citation needed] Following his third and final ejection from Kabul, Kamran went to the court of Humayun's enemy, the Sur king Islam Shah in Delhi in 1552, where he was effectively rebuffed in his hopes for an alliance against his brother.

The river changed its course over time, with the result that the Baradari stands not on the bank but in the waters as an island while the gardens have deteriorated.

Although Humayun resisted the pressure to put his rebellious brother to death, he was persuaded that something needed to be done about him so he reluctantly had him blinded.

Humayun then sent him off to perform the Hajj to Mecca, where he died near in 1557 and took throne of Kabul from sons of Kamran Mirza and sent them to Attock Fort as Sirdars.
