Regency
Raghunathrao soon fell out of favor with Madhavrao and conspired against him by allying with the Nizam of Hyderabad. This alliance was defeated at Ghodegaon, and Raghunathrao was placed under house arrest. After Madhavrao's death in 1772, he was released and became regent for Madhavrao's younger brother, Narayanrao. Together with his wife Anandibai, Raghunathrao orchestrated the murder of Narayanrao.
