Mir Sadiq

Mir Sadiq held the post of a minister in the cabinet of Tipu Sultan of Mysore in India. In the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, he is alleged to have betrayed the sultan by siding with the British. He allegedly pulled the Mysorean army from the battlefield for collecting wages in the midst of the battle. This allowed the British forces to storm the boundary wall with little defence, paving the way for a British victory.^[1] Sadiq was killed at the Battle of Seringapatam in by dismayed Mysorean troops immediately following the defeat (as he attempted to go over to the British).
