Towards the end of the reign of Ahmad Shah as his political fortunes declined, and Delhi was wrought internal fighting, the Mughal empire owed a debt of 15 lakhs to the Najib Khan Rohilla and Bahadur Khan Balauch, thus a settlement was reached and the revenue of village in the Ganges–Yamuna doab was assigned to them. However when on November 26, 1753, they left Delhi, after crossing Yamuna they captured Patparganj and seized the headman and the toll-offices, and left only after they received a ransom of Rs. 35,000. Much of the town was destroyed during the period.
