Dilawar Khan Ghauri was governor of the Malwa province of central India during the decline of the Delhi Sultanate. Dilawar Khan declared himself Sultan of Malwa in 1401, and passed the kingdom to his son Hoshang Shah upon his death. Malwa (माळवा in Malvi) is a region of western India, occupying a plateau of volcanic origin lying in the western part of Madhya Pradesh state and the southeastern part of Rajasthan state. ... Hoshang Shah was the sultan of Malwa from 1405 to 1435. ...
Several hours after his release, when DilawarKhan met his colleagues from the BBC and Dawn, he looked traumatised, disoriented and appeared to be in a state of shock.
DilawarKhan told his colleagues that he was picked up from near the police lines in Islamabad by six or seven people who stopped his taxi and pushed him out.
Although DilawarKhan has been quite reluctant to talk about the identity of his captors, and understandably so, the kind of questions he was asked during the detention strongly suggest that he may have been detained by one of the security agencies dealing with affairs in the tribal areas.
