v1.c15.s4.4

The actual administration was to be conducted by Mir Mumin Khan, the highest noble of the city and the most trusted lieutenant of the former governor Zakariya Khan, as deputy subahdar. The other officers were reinstated in their respective posts. The Turki general Bihkāri Khān (surnamed Raushan-ud-daulah, Rustam Jang), who had been "the dearest friend and most trusted factotum of Muin" and the virtual ruler and "centre of all affairs in the province in his time", and had naturally aspired to the deputy governorship, was bitterly disappointed.
