    Solution

    Ghori had suffered a humiliating defeat in 1205 at the hands of the Shah of Khwarizm. Soon afterwards, he heard the news of a revolt by Khokhars in central Punjab. Hard pressed, Aibek appealed to Muhammad Ghori for help. The latter came to the Punjab, crushed the revolt and helped Aibek in restoring law and order. On his return journey to Ghazni, he was encamped at Jhelum on the Indus when a party of the Khokhar dare-devils stealthily entered his tent and put him to death on March 15, 1206.
