The Mughal force commanded by Prince Murad (d. 1007/1599) took field against Ahmadnagar. In the encounter, the Mughals were severely repulsed. Murad was compelled to negotiate truce, and recognized the rule of Ahmadnagar. The Mughals retained Birar and Ahmadnagar ruled independently. Henceforward, Chand Bibi came to be known as Chand Sultana. After some times, once again the opponents of Chand Bibi made approach to Prince Daniel (d. 1013/1604), the third son of emperor Akbar, who attacked Ahmadnagar and a terrible fight took place in the plain of Sonipat. The Mughals succeeded to turn the troops of Chand Bibi and had a siege over Ahmadnagar in 1008/1599. This time, emperor Akbar himself rushed to Deccan and pitched his tents outside the city. Chand Bibi became desperate and resisted the Mughal attacks with such courage that the invaders were repelled at many places. Hamid Khan, the traitor provided an entry to the Mughal force in Ahmadnagar. The Mughals reached the palace of Chand Bibi to kill her. At that moment of disaster, Chand Bibi came out of her apartments and fought bravely and was killed, and thus, the Mughals captured Ahmadnagar in 1009/1600.
