Encouraged by Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula of Oudh, the Shahzada Ali Gauhar (son of Emperor Alamgir II) invaded Bengal against English-supported Nawab Mir Jafar and besieged Patna, defended by Raja Ramnarain. With a British force approaching under Robert Clive, a final assault by the Shahzada and Muhammad Kuli of Allahabad was heavily repulsed and they withdrew.
