Prince Murad and Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan led the Mughal invasion, facing little opposition until reaching Ahmadnagar.
Chand Bibi, defending Ahmadnagar, shut herself in the fort with the boy king, Bahadur.
After a close siege of four months, both sides agreed to cede Berar to the Mughals in exchange for recognizing Bahadur's claim and Mughal suzerainty in 1596.
The Mughal annexation of Berar alarmed the Deccani states, fearing it would give the Mughals a permanent foothold in the Deccan.
