The given statement is false.
In March 1739, Nadir Shah invaded Northern India before attacking Delhi. He pillaged Delhi and seized the Peacock throne and the enormous wealth with him. The Afsharid dynasty of Persia was established by the Shah of Persia, Nadir Shah. In 1739, during Muhammad Shah's rule, he stormed Delhi. He and his soldiers looted all of the priceless jewels in the royal Mughal treasury. The Marathas allegedly invaded Bengal six times between August 1741 and May 1751. Nadir Shah did not invade Bengal. Instead, he occupied northern India and pillaged it. The "Battle of Karnal" resulted in Nadir Shah's apparent victory. He and his army defeated the Mughals.
Hence, the correct answer is Nadir Shah invaded Delhi in 1739.
