Arkali Khan

Arkali Khan
   The second son of Sultan Jalal al-Din Firuz Khalji (1290-1296), Arkali Khan became notorious for inflicting harsh punishments on persons not reconciled to the seizure of power by the Khalji officers led by his father. Arkali Khan became hostile to Sidi Maula, an influential dervish favored by his elder brother, Khan-i Khanan. On Sidi Maula's arrest for allegedly plotting to overthrow the Khalji rule, Arkali had him trampled by an elephant in the presence of his father. After Jalal al-Din Firuz Khalji's assassination that led to the seizure of throne by 'Ala al-Din Khalji (1296-1316), Arkali was arrested and blinded.
