Raza Ali Abidi (famous broadcaster) gave different view in his book ‘Jourbnaili SaRak’ or ‘Sher Darya’. He says that Akbar and other Mughals had a passion for duplicating buildings Like there was a planing for black Taj mahal similar to original Taj mahal. Similarly, there was a city with name Attock (in the part which is India now). There is another theory that due to river, some construction was delayed and therefore they named the place attack (which is delay in Hindi / Urdu).

Reza Ali Abidi of 20th century is more reliable source and authority on this or the court historians of Mughal emperor Akbar?
