He wounded the sentiments of Laksmi Narayan and Pariksit Narayan, the kings of Kuchbihar and [[kamarupa]] respectively, by putting them under arrest. A formidable revolt broke out in Kuchbihar and Kamrup against this action of the Mughal governor. Qasim Khan led an expedition against Kachhar and it ended in failure.

Mang Khamaung (Hasain Khan), the King of [[arakan]] and the Portuguese freelancer Sebastian Gonzales made a combined attack on the Mughal frontier ''thana'' of Bengal. Initially the Arakan king and the Portuguese invaders gained success. Their combined forces crossed the big Feni and the little Feni rivers and occupied Bhulua and plundered and looted the inland territories and marched northward. When total defeat was imminent for the Mughals, suddenly the tide of fortune turned in their favour.

The Arakan King and his nephew were surrounded by Mughal troops and were compelled to sign an ignominious treaty in return for the assurance of being allowed to retreat unhurt.
