Why did Sambhaji Maharaj return halfway from the Janjira Campaign? 

Answer 1

1. To control the Siddi, who was causing trouble to the Marathi territory, Sambhaji Maharaj launched a campaign against him in 1682 CE.
2. His army laid a siege to Siddi's Dandarajpuri fort and battered the fort of Janjira with the artillery.
3. But at the same time, the Mughal army invaded Swaraj. Sambhaji Maharaj had to abandon the Janjira campaign and turn back.
