Muhammad Ibrahim (Jahangir II)

Muhammad Ibrahim or Jahangir II (9 August 1703 – 31 January 1746) was a claimant to the throne of the Mughal Empire. He was the eldest son of Prince Rafi-ush-Shan, son of Emperor Shah Alam Bahadur. On 15 October 1720, he was brought out of the prison and placed on the throne. He had been designated by the Sayyid brothers as his brother’s successor. However, Sayyid Khan Jahan, the governor of Delhi, dreading with Ibrahim’s reputation for violent temper, had substituted him with his cousin Roshan Aktar Muhammad Shah, son of Prince Khujista Akhtar Jahan Shah. He was defeated by Muhammad Shah in the battle of Hasanpur, and deposed on 13 November 1720. He was sent back to the prison in the citadel of Shahjahanabad.
