Sultan Muzaffar Khan

Sultan Muhammad Muzaffar Khan (Urdu: سلطان محمد مظفر خان) was a chief of the Bomba Tribe. He is the namesake for 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]
