Death
Ikhtiyar Khilji left the town of Devkot in 1206 to attack into Tibet, leaving Ali Mardan Khilji in Ghoraghat Upazila to watch the eastern frontier from his headquarters at Barisal. The Tibet expedition ended in failure and upon Ikhtiyar Khilji's return to India, while he was lying ill at Devkot, he was assassinated by Ali Mardan. Loyal troops under Muhammad Shiran Khilji avenged his death, imprisoning Ali Mardan.
