Buzurg Umed Khan
Faujdar of Allahabad
In office
–1694

Aurangzeb was very happy with the news of winning the war with the Maghs and capturing Sandwip and Chittagong. Happy, he gave a Pargana within Chandradwip to Buzurg Umed Khan. That pargana was named Buzurg Umedpur. Areas like Baqarganj, Patuakhali, Betagi, Mirzaganj etc. were included in the Buzurg Umedpur pargana. The village where Buzurg Umed Khan lived in Bakerganj was used to store the army's ammunition, so the name of the village came to be Golabari. When some complaints were heard about Buzurg Umed Khan, his father took him back to Jahangir Nagar. [4]

Subahdar of Allahabad and Bihar

After his duties in Chittagong, Buzurg Umed Khan also served as the Subahdar of Allahabad and Bihar for a long time. He died in Allahabad in 1694. A large pargana in the Bakerganj (Barisal) region was named after him, Buzurg Umedpur. [3]
