Forces of the British East India Company, led by General Gerard Lake, were repulsed four times in their attempts to storm the fortress.

A second attack on 16 January was also thrown back, after the Marathas added water to their moat.

However, Lake continued to receive supplies and reinforcements, including Maj. Gen. R. Jones' force of 1600.

This helped Lake deal with Amir Khan, Holkar's general, who was raiding Bundelkhand.

A treaty was signed on 24 December 1805, in which he gave up any claim to Tonk, Rampura, and Bundi.
