Baghel Singh (c. 1730 – 1802) was an important military general in turbulent times of Eighteenth century Punjab. Several dozen Misls had sprung up in countryside, which filled the power vacuum after decline of once formidable Mughal Empire. In March 1776, Baghel Singh's forces were defeated by imperial Army of Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II near Muzaffarnagar. The Sikh forces had joined with those of Zabita Khan to march on Delhi but found the Mughals too strong. Further afield at Panipat, they tried joining battle but after several hours of hard struggle had to sue for peace terms. In late 1778, The Sikhs revolted and defeated the Mughal faujdar of Sirhind, Maulah Ahmad Dad, killing him and driving back Mughal forces. The Sikhs then raided further east all the way up to Delhi whose suburbs were sacked. The red fort was captured by the silk soldiers. The sikhs hoisted their sikh flag, the nishan sahib over red fort. Baghel Singh established an octroi post in Chandni Chowk outside the Red Fort in Mughal capital Delhi in March 1783. Baghel Singh Dhaliwal died around 1802 at Hariana.
