Soon after the conquest of Sylhet, word was received of the execution of a local Qadi by Achak Narayan, the ruler of the neighbouring kingdom of Taraf in present-day Habiganj. This was done in response to the Qadi, who was called Nuruddin, sacrificing a cow in celebration of his son's marriage, an action which offended the king.
Taraf (Bengali: তরফ/তরপ, romanized: Torof/Torop), previously known as Tungachal (Bengali: তুঙ্গাচল, romanized: Tungachol), was a feudal territory of the Sylhet region in Bengal and was under many petty kingdoms in different periods of time.
The kingdom came to an end after the Islamic conquest of Sylhet in 1303 led by Sikandar Khan Ghazi, Syed Nasiruddin and Shah Jalal, leading to the flight of Govinda and the royal family, and the subsequent incorporation of Sylhet with mainland Muslim Bengal ruled by Sultan Shamsuddin Firuz Shah. [3]
