 Accordingly, a group of Marathas went up to the fort and convinced the Adilshahi chief ("killedar") at the fort that they were not content with the rule of Shivaji and thus, had come to serve the Adilshah.The Marathas were successful and the next day, they revolted and caused total chaos inside the fort.Simultaneously, Shivaji attacked the fort from outside and in no time captured the fort.
