Siege of Ram Rauni

The siege of Ram Rauni was a 4 months siege fought between the Sikh forces led by Jassa Singh Ahluwalia and the Mughal forces of Adina Beg, Dewan Kaura Mal, Mirza Aziz Khan and Bakhshi Nasir Ali Khan Jalandri.

During the first invasion of Ahmad Shah Abdali, the Sikhs had constructed a mud fort near Amritsar which had been named Ram Rauni.

[3] Mir Mannu, in a bid to defeat and destroy the Sikh, ordered Adina Beg to march against them.

[8] The Mughals had decided to blow up Ram Rauni by filling gun-powder in the underground tunnels.

Mir Mannu offered to lift the siege because Ahmad Shah Abdali was planning to invade India for the second time.
