Det andre opprøret oppsto våren 1892. Grunnen til opprøret var en påstått gjengvoldtekt av konen til en hazaraleder av 33 pashtun-soldater. Ifølge S.A. Mousavi: "The actual trigger for the first rebellion was the assault by thirty-three Afghan soldiers on the wife of a Pahlawān Hazāra. The soldiers, who had entered the house under the pretext of searching for arms, tied the man up and assaulted his wife in front of him. The families of both the man and his wife, deciding that death was one hundred times better than such humiliation, killed the soldiers involved and attacked the local garrison, from whence they recovered their confiscated arms".
