Following his overthrow by Mahmud Shah at the battle of Nimla in June 1809, Shuja went into exile in the Punjab. He was later captured by Jahandad Khan Bamizai and imprisoned at Attock from 1811 to 1812, then taken to Kashmir from 1812 to 1813 by Atta Muhammad Khan. The capture and imprisonments followed the exile rather than coinciding with it.
