After taking power, Iuzbak repulsed the Oriyas from south-western Bengal. After this victory he styled himself as the independent ruler of Bengal. He adopted the title Sultan Mughisuddin Abul Mujaffar Iuzbak.

He invaded Bihar and Oudh. In 1257 he extended his expedition to Kamarupa (present-day Assam). But it was a failed attempt and he was killed in the battle.[1]
