The Maratha Invasion was timed perfectly to save Mayurbhanj from an actual ethnic cleansing. It is no coincidence.
It is during these atrocities of Alivardi Khan that Bhubaneshwar was literally ravaged by his armies.
The Source is Riyaz-Us-Salatin, yet Jadunath hid this record!

It is hilarious the mighty Maratha army was dreaded for its tactics by the Bangal Nawab's own barbaric forces, which shows the reputation it had achieved by this era, that Bangal Subah forces in Burdwan stood motionless out of terror.
Now note the area of Burdwan mentioned here.

Cowardice of Burdwan's treacherous Zamindar & Alivardi's contingents at Burdwan out of sheer terror of Marathas had to be covered.
This is why authors of Maharashtra Purana & Chitrachampu were patronized by Burdwan Zamindar to exaggerate hearsay of Maratha atrocities as factual.

Claims of Marathas violating or even ALLOWING violations of womenfolk at all, are completely FALSE propaganda.

The Maratha Invasion was completely justified.
It was on invitation as per ALL sources, saved Hindu supporters of local Governor and against a Usurper.
Mirza Baqar Ali Khan was legitimate as Subehdar on basis of succession norms, as well as public support by HINDUS of Odissa.

Siyar-Ul-Mutakherin describes same event where coward Burdwan Zamindar's army under his Diwan & Bangal Nawab Alivardi Khan's army was attacked by Marathas at Burdwan.
It also clarifies Mir Habib met Marathas afterwards. So it was Baqar Ali who directly invited Marathas to Bangal.

Siyar-Ul-Mutakherin describes the treacherous murder of Hindu Raja of Mayurbhanj by Bangal Nawab Alivardi Khan for supporting Mirza Baqar Ali Khan (the legitimate Subedar of Bangal Subah).

Another contemporary eye-witness record in primary source text Ahwal-E-Mahabat Jung conclusively proves Mir Habib was arrested by Marathas in this Battle (Siege of Burdwan) from Alivardi's army and had not met him before.
Mir Habib has many titles as we have seen all this while.
