Sikandar Shah, who was then the Gujarat Sultan, was murdered on the instruction of his slave Imád-ul-Mulk Khush Kadam on 30 May 1526 after the reign of few weeks. Imad-ul-Mulk seated Sikandar Shah's six years old younger brother, Nasir Khan, on the throne with the title of Mahmud Shah II and governed on his behalf. The nobles deserted Imad-ul-Mulk’s cause in favour prince Bahadur Khan later. Bahadur Khan marched on Champaner, captured and executed Imad-ul-Mulk. He had defeated his brother Latif Khan who had rebelled against him who later died of wounds. He then poisoned Nasir Khan and his other brothers. He ascended the throne in 1527 with the title of Bahadur Shah. Bahadur Shah raised the mausoleum in honour of his brothers, Sikandar Shah and others. James Forbes had visited the mausoleum in 1785 and had noted presence of marble tombs adorned with fine carvings. These tombs are now lost
