Qutb-ud-dīn was for a long time childless and, recalling from Delhi his nephew Hasan Khān, made him his heir, but Hasan’s impatience exceeded his gratitude, and he conspired with a Hindu courtier against his patron. The plot was discovered, and Hasan and his accomplice fled to Loharkot, but were seized by the land-holders of that district and surrendered to Qutb-ud-dīn, who put the Hindu to death and imprisoned his nephew, of whom no more is heard.
