Did not find info to hindus persecuting muslims at that time. Haider Ali usurped the throne when the king died.

Mysore’s titular ruler Krishnaraja died in April 1766, while Hyder was in Malabar. Hyder had left orders that Krishnaraja’s son Nanjaraja be invested should that happen, and he only later came to formally pay his respects to the new rajah. He took advantage of this opportunity to engage in a sort of house cleaning: the raja’s palace was plundered, and its staff reduced to the point where virtually everyone employed there was also a spy for Hyder Ali.](Hyder Ali - Wikipedia)

I remember Pakistan made a movie on haider Ali, where they shown Muslim persecution. It might be inspired from Naseem Hijazi’s urdu novel ‘Haider Ali’. will try to find further material.
