Afzal ul-Mulk (1 January 1867 – 6 November 1892) was the Mehtar of the princely state of Chitral who briefly ruled following the death of his father the Great Mehtar Aman ul-Mulk, usurping the right of his elder brother Nizam ul-Mulk.[1][2][3] His tenure as Mehtar was short-lived, as he was murdered by his uncle Sher Afzal within two and a half months of assuming authority.[4][5]
