After creating economic crisis in the Kathmandu Valley, Prithvi Narayan Shah took a chance to invade Kirtipur for the second time in September 1767 A.D. At this moment, Patan and Bhadgaon ( now Bhaktapur) did not support Kirtipur. However, Kirtipur fought bravely and drove the Gorkhali invaders away. Shur Pratap Shah, the younger brother of Prithvi Narayan Shah, lost one of his eyes. The Gorkhali lost both lives and properties in the battle with Kirtipur.
