Riza Quli’s brother, ‘Ali Khan the colonel, inherits these properties and after his death, his inheritors are Muhammad ‘Ali Khan the colonel, Yazdan Virdi Khan, Fatimah, Mah Jabin, and Riza Quli’s wife, Sakinah. Muhammad ‘Ali Khan has claimed that his sister, Fatimah, was murdered and that he has settled her belongings by himself.
