रघुनाथराव का जाट गढियों पर आक्रमण 1766
रघुनाथराव ने गोहद के राणा छत्र सिंह से सीधी टक्कर न लेकर उसके राज्य की जाट गढियों पर आक्रमण करना प्रारम्भ कर दिय. रघुनाथराव ने भिलसा-गढी का घेरा डालकर आक्रमण किया. गढी में जाट सैनिक तीन दिन तक मराठा सेना का सामना करते रहे, अंत में गढी के जाट सरदार ने 300 जाट सैनिकों सहित रघुनाथराव की सेना के समक्ष आत्म-समर्पण कर दिया. 10 दिसम्बर 1766 के दिन रघुनाथराव की मराठा सेना ने आत्मसमर्पित 300 जाट सैनिकों की निर्मम हत्या कर दी, इसके बाद मराठा सेना जाटों की अन्य गढियों एवं गांवों को लूटने लगी.

Rana-Maratha treaty 2 November 1766
Though Rana Chhatra Singh defeated Marathas at Gohad on 2 November 1766, he still wished for treaty with Marathas for peace. Peace talks were started by Mahadji Sindhia and Nari Shankar from the side of Marathas with Chhatra Singh. Rana of Gohad agreed to pay Rs 11 lakh under the treaty out of which Rs. 2 lakh were to be paid in cash and rest in installments. [3] [4]
The 2 November 1766 defeat of Marathas by Jats enraged Raghunath Rao, who was always in search of opportunities to insult Rana of Gohad. The soldiers of Raghunath Rao seized the small fort of Bhilsa under Jats. After a fight for 2-3 days the Jat sardars in the 'Bhilsa garhi' surrendered before the Maratha soldiers. On 10 December 1766 the Maratha soldiers killed 300 Jat soldiers present in the garhi. In addition to this the Maratha soldiers also started destroying other garhis (forts) under Jats. [5] [6] [7]
The campaign of Marathas to occupy the Jat garhis compelled Rana Chhatra Singh to suppress Marathas. The Rana of Gohad re-occupied the garhis near Gohad, which were under Marathas. These include the forts at Badera, Bilhati, and Bahadurpur. He then moved to the ‘Padawli ki garhi’. [8] [9] These counter activities worried Raghunath Rao. He then requested Mahadji Sindhia to have a treaty of peace with Rana of Gohad. Mahadji Sindhia mediated for the implementation of treaty proposed after war of 2 November 1766. It got implemented on 2 January 1767. Under this treaty The Rana of Gohad paid Rs. 15 lakh to the Marathas. [10] [11]
After this treaty Raghunath Rao moved towards Karauli. [12]
