In 1320, Mubarak in turn was stabbed and beheaded by his supposed favourite, Khusro Khan, and his followers. Deval was then married to Khusro Khan. Her story, of being passed from hand to hand amongst a series of ambitious, power-hungry Muslim men is the basis of the celebrated Gujarati historical novel Karan Ghelo authored by Nandshankar Mehta.
