Nadia History

Pratapaditya set up a new base where the Kagarghat canal and Jamuna meet. There he prepared himself for a second fight. All his forces gathered at the fort he established choosing a very strategic point. The first attack by the imperialists was made on the Jessore fleet who took shelter underneath the fort. The imperialists were refrained further by the Jessore fleet. But then imperialists made a sudden attack on the Jessore fleet that lost which made Pratapaditya to abandon the fort. This defeat was the last one for Pratapaditya who surrendered to Ghiyas Khan at Kagarghat. He was then taken to Islam Khan at Dhaka. He remained there until he died at Benaras while changing prisons. The Jessore king was held captive and also was dethroned.
