According to the foreign traveller Ibn Battuta, the people of Delhi used to write letters containing abuses to the Sultan. In response, the Sultan, Muhammad bin Tughlaq, decided to punish them by shifting the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad (in present-day Maharashtra). This move was part of Tughlaq's attempt to consolidate his rule, although it faced resistance and led to difficulties for the people, ultimately contributing to the failure of the capital relocation plan.
