{
Hemu got struck by an arrow and collapsed. Not seeing Hemu in his howda, his army was in disarray and defeated in the ensuing confusion.

General Bairam Khan was desirous that Akbar should slay the hindu king Hemu himself and should establish his right to the title of “Ghazi” (Champion of Faith or war veteran). But Akbar, refused to strike a blood soaked and dead enemy but smote the dead body, just to be called a Ghazi. Bairam Khan irritated by Akbar’s scruples beheaded the king himself.
