Mughal forces of Emperor Aurangzeb under General Bujurg Umed Khan, son of Shaista Khan, expel the Portuguese from the Bengal port city of Chittagong, which has been under the control of the Portuguese and the Magh pirates (a notorious name for Arakanese) for one hundred and twenty-eight years, and rename the city as Islamabad.

While Chittagong city and port have acquired great fame as centers of business and trade during the period of Portuguese occupation, the Mughal occupation restores peace and order in the district as a whole and in the city in particular.
