His nephew Alauddin led an expedition to Vidisha in 1292 AD. According to Badauni, Alauddin âbrought much booty to the Sultan and the idol which was the object of worship of the Hindus, he caused to be cast in front of the Badaun gate to be trampled upon by the people. The services of Alauddin were highly appreciated, the jagir of Oudh also was added to his other estates.â"
