He made additions of Darshan Vilas to Claude Martin's house – Farhat Buksh in 1832.
Death
He was poisoned by members of the court. As he had no offspring, there was a succession crisis. The queen mother, Padshah Begum, put Munna Jan on the throne, but he was not acknowledged as a member of the royal family. The British intervened, jailing both Padshah Begum and Munna Jan. They enthroned Nasir-ud-daula, son of the late Nawab Saadat Ali Khan.
