It is likely that you have heard of Jahangir, the Mughal Emperor.

He reigned as the fourth Mughal Emperor from 1605 to 1627, when he passed away, a span of 22 years.

However, are you aware that Jahangir was kidnapped once?

Mahabat Khan, one of his general, kidnapped him.

In addition to putting the king in prison, Mahabat Khan also took him off the throne and kept him to himself.

Mahabat Khan took this action because he disapproved of Begum Noorjahan's actions.

After attacking Jahangir's army, Mahabat had captured it.

However, Noorjahan eventually surrendered before him.
