The Battle of Hasan Abdal took place on June 7, 1813, between the Sikhs led by Bhayya Ram Singh and Afghans led by Fateh Khan Barakzai at Hasan Abdal.[3] [4]
On 7 June 1813, Fateh Khan Barakzai attacked Hasan Abdal with 2,000 Afghans. Hasan Abdal was under Bhayya Ram Singh with 500 militants. The Battle resulted with 50 casualties on both sides and entire weaponry, horses and camels of Sikh soldiers fell into Fateh's hands.[1] [5]
