The next task was to proceed against the persons and property of Farrukh-siyar’s chief adherents. Itiqad Khan (Mhd. Murad) was sent as a prisoner to Husain Ali Khan’s house, his jagirs were resumed, and all his property confiscated. He had managed to make away with a great deal, but much was recovered. By one account, it took ten to fifteen days to remove the immense store of valuables that he had obtained through the unwise liberality of Farrukh-siyar. Itiqad Khan now disappears from our story, and ending his days in obscurity, he died at Dihli on the 12th Ramzan 1139 H. (2nd May, 1727) at the age of seventy-two years. The jagirs of the late Sadat Khan, father-in-law, and of Shaista Khan, maternal uncle of the late Emperor, were resumed; as were also those of Sayyid Salabat Khan, late general of the artillery, and of Afzal Khan, the late Sadar. The allowances and lands of Farrukh-siyar’s wife, the daughter of Maharajah Ajit Singh were not interfered with.*
