Renewing the Mughal invasion of Bengal following defeat at Patna (April 1759), Emperor Shah Alam II and General Kamgar Khan marched on Patna, defended by Raja Ramnarain who met them at Masumpur, east of Futwar. Ramnarain was heavily defeated when three of his divisional commanders deserted on the battlefield, but the Imperials were beaten two weeks later at Sherpur.
