After the death of Shahrukh Mirza, Goharshad allowed Abdal-Latif Mirza to be the commander of his army despite reservations of the Tarkhans as well as the reservations of Baysonqor Mirza's sons, especially Abul-Qasim Babur Mirza who was present there at the camp. Goharshad wanted to please Ulugh Beg but at the same time encouraged the Baysonqor brothers to rebel. She contacted Ala-ud-Daulah Mirza at Herat conveying her sentiments. Therefore, Abul-Qasim Babur Mirza along with Khalil Sultan, son of Muhammad Jahangir & a daughter of Shahrukh Mirza along with their troops raided the Urdu Bazar or Camp Market and went of towards Ala-ud-Daulah Mirza at Herat. As soon as Abdal-Latif Mirza got his army in order after several executions he marched towards Damghan and on his way imprisoned Goharshad his grandmother and the Tarkhans.
