Bahadur Khan was a well known Zamindar (landlord) of Jacobabad District who was said to own a sizable portion of the agricultural lands in Jacobabad. He was an inventive genius who used to assist government officials with various agricultural problems. He had lands in all the talukas of District Jacobabad but most of the lands were in taluka Thul.
