Prince Sahibzada Sayyid Shareef Ghulam Muhammad Sultan Khan Sahib, KCSI (March 1795 in Srirangapatnam – 11 August 1872 in Russapagla, Calcutta) was the fourteenth[clarification needed] son of Tipu Sultan.
Deported to Calcutta in 1806 along with the remainder of his family 7 years after the defeat and death of his father, he was eventually recognized by the Government of India as the official head of the family and successor to his father.[1]
Known as the last surviving son of Tipu Sultan and Knighted in 1870, he died 2 years later, aged 77, of dengue fever.[2]
