body was transported to Jalalabad where he was given a burial. His body was later exhumed for re-burial in Calcutta. Having secured Kabul, Pollock sent Major General McCasKill into the Koh Daman to capture or kill the rebel leaders. His first objective was Istalif, where Aminullah Khan Logari was said to have concentrated forces. But Aminullah Khan had already fled. Despite Istalif being overflowed with thousands of displaced people from Kabul, McCasKill ordered his troops to attack, killing thousands of men, women, and children in a massacre. Houses and Bazaars were also set on fire. The massacre was still targeted even though the elders of Istalif had provided support to the British cantonment, as well as the pir of Istalif having sheltered Pottinger the night they fled from Charikar. McCasKill then advanced on to Charikar, and continued dealing massacre's in the region, but was unable to capture or kill any rebel leaders that had fled, eventually being recalled to Kabul. Pollock, who wished to also lead in retribution, was determined to destroy a major monument in the city of Kabul. He first aimed at the Bala Hissar, however turned away from this after being reminded that it was the seat of the Sadozai Monarchy. He then turned his sights to the Char Chatta, or the Grand Bazaar, and ordered the complete destruction of it. Several other monuments were also destroyed, including the Masjid-i-Farangi, or Franks Mosque, which was built over the site where Macnaghten was assassinated. The troops sent to destroy the Bazaar got out of hand, and began burning for revenge as well as killing anyone who stood in their way. By the time order was restored, many of the wooden houses and shops in the Old city, which dated back hundreds of years, were ablaze and left to flames. When Pollock finally withdrew two weeks later, the flames were still blazing in Kabul. When Pollock began to withdraw, many of the Hindu Baniyas decided to accompany the British army back to India, for they not only had lost their homes and livelihoods, but they also feared the reprisals that they would be met with when the British forces had fully withdrawn. Fath Jang joined the British force in withdrawing, however, Shahpur stayed behind until months later where he fled to Peshawar.
