An interesting story followed after the Qasim's victory over Dahir, which resulted in the death of Qasim. It is said that when the Caliph Walid sent for Suryadevi and Parmaldevi, he selected the elder for sharing his bed but the damsel protested that she was unworthy as Mohammed bin Qasim had dishonored both her and her sister before sending them to his master. Walid, thus enraged, wrote with his own hands and ordered directing that the offender, wherever he might be when the message reached him, should suffer himself to be sewn up in a raw hide and thus dispatched to the capital. When the order reached Qasim, he obeyed it at once. He caused himself to be sewn up in the hide, the contraction of which as it dried would crush him to death, enclosed in a box and sent to Damascus.
The box was opened in the presence of the Caliph and Suryadevi, and Walid pointed to the corpse as evidence of the obedience which he was able to extract from his servants. Suryadevi having achieved her ends confessed that her accusation was false and she was merely avenging her fathers death. Walid condemned both sisters to a horrible death. They were dragged through the streets of Damascus until they expired.
