Disestablishment

January 1836: Loharu ruler Ahmad Baksh Khan was succeeded by his eldest son, Sams-ud-din Khan (Samsudin Ahmad Khan), in 1827. His reign did not last long: in 1835 he was executed by the British Raj for being involved in the conspiracy to kill the British Resident to Delhi, Sir William Frazer.
