The Mughal conquest of Kamrup or Mughal conquest of Koch Hajo was a 1613 military campaign led by Mughal commanders Shaikh Kamal and Mukarram Khan against Raja Parikshit of the Koch Dynasty. Following the successful siege of Dhubri, the campaign was briefly stalled by unauthorized peace negotiations initiated by Shaikh Kamal, who accepted a massive indemnity of elephants and gold in exchange for the Raja's autonomy. However, the Subahdar of Bengal, Islam Khan I, rejected the truce, confiscated the tribute, and ordered the total annexation of Kamrup to establish firm Mughal authority in the region.
