Azim Khan and Said Mohamed, brothers oi Bahram Rind of Shirbaz, who had
left their home for the sole purpose of kiljing some British European officers in
order to avenge the death of their brothers at Mand where Mr. Hughes and
Lieutenant Horst had fallen victims at the hands of those rebels Reports of
their movements were occasionally received, the last being that they were
seen at Tezkopan near Charhar about 13th March. It seems not a little
singular that t.lGir entry into the village was unknown and only noted after
the murders had been perpetrated. A sortie was made by the Walis men to
capture the culprits. The party got within range of the offenders, but,
alter merely firing a few shots, returned to Charbar. The subsidised chiefs
were called upon to arrest the perpetrators of the outrage and, in order
to stimulate them, a reward of Rs, 2,SCO was promised. Though
Mir Din Mohamed appeared to show an ardent desire to capture
the murderers, he actually did nothing. On the 13th June, whilst
Azim Khan and Fateh Khan, relations of Shahdullah of Bir, were leaving
Charbar on a Government mission to recover some property looted by MirSaidi
of Shighim, from a British Indian subject, they were shot detid by the

fallen some months before. 'this unfortunate incident caused considerable
perturbation amongst the turbulent people of Bir who were kept under control
by Shahdullah. The latter was informed that the matter would be thoroughly
investigated, but would be materially influenced by his conduct in the interval.
