A discussion began between Siddi Johar and Gangadhar Pant. According to Siddi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj decided to meet him. As per the plan, Shivaji Maharaj instructed that two palanquins should be prepared for the visit, and he appointed Shiva Kashid to impersonate him and meet Siddi. Shiva Kashid agreed to sacrifice his life to help rescue Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The king allowed Shiva Kashid to wear his clothes, and Shiva Kashid looked just like the king.

Even with the onset of monsoon, Siddi Johar's siege of Panhala did not loosen. As soon as he heard that Netaji Palkar, Siddi Hilal and Wahwah Hilal were coming to Panhala, Siddi sent his force. Wahwah was wounded, Siddi Hilal was captured and Netaji was defeated. Mahadev reached the fort dressed as a sanyasa and informed him about where the siege was loose and planning began.

Siddi Johar's siege of Panhala did not weaken. He sent his army to meet the British at Rajapur and requested cannons. The British agreed to help Siddi Johar and left for Panhala with the cannons. Gifford, who had been released by Shivaji Maharaj and had not been imprisoned with goods in Miraj, forgot the treaty prohibiting the supply of ammunition to Adilshahi. He betrayed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj by aiding Siddi Johar.
