The Maratha army commanded by Sambhaji maharaj and Sersenapati Hambirrao Mohite attacked and plundered the city for three days.

The Marathas got a huge loot and returned to Raigad by evading Mughal forces.

Sambhaji started to loot the houses of the richest merchants which were shown to him by his spies.

Hambirrao, then sealed the city's entrances to ensure that the word of the attack did not spread.
