Malik Maqbul was initially made the governor of Multan and sent to administer Punjab.[6] He ruled Multan as his fief. The rebellion of Kammas in Andhra made the sultan to recall Maqbul and send him to Warangal.[7] He was made the governor of Eastern Telangana, reporting to the Tughlaq's governor of the Deccan, Quwwatuddin. When Warangal was recaptured by Kamma king Musunuri Kapaya Nayaka Maqbul fled to Delhi.
