In 1897, it along with Ali Masjid, was attacked by the local tribesmen. A detachment of about 40 men of the Khaibar Rifles held out for some time. However, they withdrew and the fort was ultimately burnt down.<Nevill, Captain H. L., "Campaigns on the North West Frontier Sang-e-Meel Publications, Lahore 2003 pg 261>
