Abul Hasan Qutb Shah

Abul Hasan Qutb Shah became sultan of Golconda after the death of his father Abdullah Qutb Shah. His reign coincided with the final phase of Mughal expansion into the Deccan under Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb's Mughal army besieged Golconda fort for eight months. The siege ended when a traitor opened the gates, leading to the capture of Abul Hasan Qutb Shah and the annexation of Golconda into the Mughal Empire.

After the fall of Golconda, Abul Hasan Qutb Shah was captured and imprisoned by Aurangzeb. He spent the rest of his life in captivity at Daulatabad fort, marking the end of the Qutb Shahi dynasty.
