Osman Khan 
The Battle of Sadhaura was fought between
Sadhaura in 1710. The imperial forces were defeated and took refuge behind the city's walls. Banda's forces captured the fort and levelled it to the ground. It resulted in a victory for the Sikhs where Banda Singh Bahadur defeated Osman Khan.[6][1][7]
Background
Sadhaura was ruled by Osman Khan, who had tortured and executed the Muslim Pir Syed Badruddin Shah (also known as Pir Budhu Shah), for helping Guru Gobind Singh in the Battle of Bhangani. And also for the atrocities committed against Hindus by Osman Khan where the cows were slaughtered in front of their homes and his order which forbade Hindus and Sikhs from cremating their dead and performing their religious events, which led the Sikhs to march to Sadhaura.[8][9]
Aftermath
Osman Khan was captured and chastised.
