Nizām-ud-dīn, nephew and son-in-law of the aged *Kotwāl* Fakhr-ud-dīn, acquired on Kaiqubād’s accession in 1287 a prominent position at the capital, and the son of Balban’s brother Kashlī Khān, who bore his father’s title but was more generally known as Malik Chhajjū, received the important fief of Sāmāna. Bughrā Khān tamely acquiesced in his supersession by his son, but assumed in Bengal the royal title of Nāsir-ud-dīn Mahmūd Bughrā Shāh.
