 '''See main article [[Kabul Uprising]]'''== Summary Synopsis ==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldred_Pottinger Major Eldred Pottinger] was at Lughmani, a fortifed residence 4 km south of Charikar, on 3 November when Kohistan tribesmen murdered Lieut Rattray and attacked the residence. The Afghan levies deserted and joined the rebels. Capt Codrington left reinforcements and supplies at Lughmani and returned to Charikar. The same day the Kohistan Rangers at Kardarrah, half way between Charikar and Kabul, murdered Lieuts Maule & Wheeler and their sergeant-major and quartermaster-sergeant and went over to the rebels. The road for any relief from Kabul was then cut off.
