Just before this attack Shivaji had asked
his officer to leave the fort, however Firangoji chose not to surrender
the fort and rather began a wild revolutionary war against the Mughals and secured
the fort for very nearly two months.
The Mughals attempted an alternate method
for taking the fort. They dug a shaft up to the fort, which was a test due to
the water around it. They filled this shaft with explosives and exploded the wall
of the fort.
This was a significant setback for Firangoji and his
soldiers, 75 officers kicked the bucket in this attack. The Mughal armed force
hurried into the fort, savage battling resulted and numerous Maratha officers
were murdered. |

Shaista Khan was shocked by Firangoji's
valiance, and offered him Mughal Sardari. Firangoji declined to accept
it and rather Shaista Khan provided for him and his fighters safe entry.
Firangoji came to meet Shivaji and apologized for surrendering the fort.
Shivaji, content with him for having
guarded the small fort for just about 2 months said "on the off chance
that it took 60 days for Shaista Khan to take a small fort, imagine how
long will be thankful to catch a whole swarajya (kingdom)". Shivaji
paid Firangoji and made him Killedar of the Bhupalgad fort.
