Daud Shah showed bravery in Mujahid Shah's campaigns against the Vijayanagara Empire, but was later reprimanded by Mujahid for his bold actions that could've resulted in a disaster if the Muslim army had lost. Eventually through intrigue, Daud Shah was assassinated by a court faction led by Mujahid Shah's sister, who instead placed Alauddin Bahman Shah's younger son, Mohammad II on the throne.
