The Battle of Haidru, also called Battle of Attock, was fought in 1828 by the Sikh forces led by Hari Singh Nalwa and the Mujahideen forces led by Syed Ahmad Barelvi.

Background and Battle

After being unsuccessful with Peshawar, Sayyid Ahmad Barelvi made a plan to take over Attock.[2] However, Khadi Khan of Hund who was a close ally of Sayyid betrayed the Mujahideen and told the plan to Hari Singh Nalwa, and the plan failed.[3][4] After the battle, Sayyid moved to the west of the Indus.[2]

Aftermath

After the treachery of Khadi Khan, Sayyid defeated and killed him in 1829 at the battle of Hund.[5]
