Sultan Muzaffar Khan

Sultan Muhammad Muzaffar Khan (Urdu: سلطان محمد مظفر خان‎) was a chief of the Bomba (Kashmiri tribe).[1] He is the namesake for the city of Muzaffarabad in present-day Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. Khan united various hill tribes near the Kashmir–Hazara border region and convinced them to settle near the site of two rivers: the Jhelum and Kishanganga.[2]
