After the death of [[Karim Khan]] Zand, [[Agha Muhammad Khan]] who was a hostage--in light of preventing an outbreak of war between the [[Qajar]] tribes in the northern [[Persian Empire|Persia]] and the Zands--escaped promptly and reached [[Mazandaran]]. Subsequently he took command of his tribe in [[Astrabad]], and declared independence from the Zand Shah. Therefore, [[Zaki Khan]] dispatched the Persian army under the command of his nephew, Ali Murad Khan against the Qajar lord. |

Ali Murad Khan was given power over the Persian army to destroy [[Qajar]] tribes in the north, but he betrayed [[Abol Fath Khan]], and left him defenseless in capital to be slain by [[Sadiq Khan]]. Ali Murad then captured [[Isfahan (city)|Isfahan]]. He levied high taxes on the people, and tortured and slew whoever refused. Finally on March 14, 1781 he captured [[Shiraz, Iran|Shiraz]], and slew Sadiq Khan, and sat on the throne. He then ruled until 1785, when he was overthrown by Sadiq's son [[Jafar Khan|Jafar]]. |
