Wazir Khan demanded Baba Banda Singh Bahadur be captured and treated like the Chote Sahibzade. Ten young Sikhs, including Bhai Ali Singh and Bhai Mali Singh, tested Babaji’s powers by urging him to confront Wazir Khan. Babaji agreed after capturing two spies, leading to a feared assault on Sirhind. The Sikhs and Turkhs clashed, resulting in heavy casualties as the war began.
