Assassination
Abul Fazl was assassinated while he was returning from the Deccan by Vir Singh Bundela (who later became the ruler of Orchha) between Sarai Vir and Antri (near Narwar) in a plot contrived by the Mughal Prince Salim, who later became the Emperor Jahangir in 1602, because Abu'l Fazl was known to oppose the accession of Prince Salim to the throne. His severed head was sent to Salim at Allahabad. Abul Fazl was buried at Antri. Abu'l Fazl's son Shaikh Abdur Rahman Afzal Khan (December 29, 1571 – 1613) was later appointed governor of Bihar in 1608 by Jahangir.
