After Hemu, the Hindu minister leading the Sur dynasty’s forces, was wounded at the Second Battle of Panipat, a Mughal captain brought him and his elephant to the camp of young emperor Akbar. Here, Mughal general Bairam Khan beheaded Hemu. Akbar captured Agra and Delhi and ruled for the next 49 years, greatly expanding the Mughal Empire. The estimated number of deaths in the battle was about 5,000.
