Patna was taken by Akbar in person in AH 982 from daud, the son of Sulaiman Kararani King of Bengal. In 1573 AD Munim Khan attacked Bihar, forcing Daud to retreat and take shelter in Patna. Daud sent Katlu Lohani, Gujar Khan Karrani and Sri Hari against the Mughal army. From the Akbar's army Munim Khan, along with Todar Mal and Mansingh, made the first attack in Hajipur. After a fierce battle, the Bengals and Afghans were at the verge of victory. However, Akbar then re-captured the neighbouring fort of Hajipur, which was the source of rations for the army of his opponent. The Bengalis along with Afghans fell in distress and retreated to Bengal. Akbar returned to the capital after appointing Munim Khan as the governor of Bihar and Bengal. Todar Mal was also left to assist him.
