Muhammad Muzaffar Khan Bomba (Persian: محمد مظفر خان بنبه) was a chief of the Bomba tribe who adopted the royal title of Sultan. He is the namesake and founder of the city of Muzaffarabad in present-day Azad Kashmir.[1] Khan united various hill tribes near the Kashmir–Hazara border region and convinced them to settle near the site of two rivers: the Jhelum River and Neelum River.[2]
Muzaffarabad was founded in 1646 by Sultan Muzaffar Khan, chief of the Bomba tribe[3] who ruled Kashmir.[4] Khan also constructed the Red Fort that same year for the purpose of warding off incursions from the Mughal Empire.
