Early life

Muhammad Dilawar was born in Junagarh to Muhammad Mahabat Khan III.[5] His father, Muhammad Mahabat Khanji III, was the nawab of Junagadh until his death in 1959.

Cause of Resignation, Cause of Death, Son

When Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto resigned on 5 July 1977, he also resigned because of the coming of the new president Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. He died of lung cancer on 30th July 1989.[6][7] His eldest son, Muhammad Jahangir Khanji, is now the titular claimant to the defunct Junagarh Nawabi title.
