When the Mughal Emperor realized that Sikhs were planning to attack Delhi, they stocked an adequate quantity of food and other essential commodities in the fort. So he ordered that all gates of the fort be closed so that the Sikhs camping in the jungles would soon run out of rations and go back. The Sikhs learned from a mason that a wall had caved in from inside. He also agreed to lead the Sikhs and show them this spot. The Sikhs planned to ram the wall with logs to make a hole in the wall to enter the fort. This place is “Mori Gate,” where the Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT) in present Delhi is located.
