In 1542, Sher Shah conquered Malwa. After capturing Malwa, he moved towards Chanderi to annexe the region.[1][6] Puran Mal was the Rajput leader of Chanderi. He rebelled because in pursuance of his usual policy of administration Sher Shah had transferred him to Benares.[2][7] Sher Shah besieged the fort of Chanderi for six months. Puran Mal surrendered to Sher Shah in January 1543.[8] He was later executed by Sher Shah.[9][10]
