HI, please consider the answer below
In the 18th century, under whom did the Bengal break away from the Muungal control.
So having gone through that answer I would say that under Murshid Quli Khan Bengal broke away from Mughal control.
Murshid was appointed as the naib, also known as the deputy to the governor of Bengal.
This was even in the fact that he was never a subadar.
