Bahadur Shah tries to negotiate the withdrawal …

Years: 1538 - 1538

Bahadur Shah tries to negotiate the withdrawal of the Portuguese once the threat from Humayun is removed, Bahadur, but had drowned on February 13, 1537, during the negotiations on board of a Portuguese ship in unclear circumstances, both sides blaming the other for the traged.

These events are followed by the 1538 Siege of Diu.

Ottoman naval power is felt at this time even as far afield as India, where a fleet sent out from Egypt assist the Gujaratis in an unsuccessful attempt in 1538 to take the town of Diu from the Portuguese.
