Abdul Ahad's Patiala campaign was a Mughal expedition led by Abdul Ahad Khan Majd-ud-Daulah with Prince Mirza Jahan Shah Farkhunda Bakht against the Cis-Satluj Sikh chiefs and the Patiala State in 1779. The expedition began from Delhi on 18 June 1779 and ended with Abdul Ahad's retreat from Patiala beginning on 14 October and his return to Delhi on 5 November. The campaign developed from Abdul Ahad's rivalry with Mirza Najaf Khan and his attempt to use Sikh support to strengthen his own position in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. Raja Amar Singh of Patiala had sought imperial assistance against rival Sikh chiefs, but Abdul Ahad also relied on those same rival chiefs after reaching the Karnal region. This divided policy, combined with demands for tribute, the arrest of Sikh chiefs, unpaid troops, desertion among Sikh auxiliaries, and the arrival of Sikh forces supporting Patiala, led to the failure of the expedition. After the retreat, the Mughal court panicked over the safety of Prince Farkhunda Bakht and recalled Mirza Najaf Khan to Delhi. Abdul Ahad briefly recovered influence with Shah Alam, but Najaf Khan entered Delhi, occupied the fort through his lieutenant Afrasiyab Khan, and secured Abdul Ahad's submission on 15 November 1779. The affair ended the divided control of the Mughal government and restored unified authority under Mirza Najaf Khan.
