Nawab Najabat Khan joined the army of Ahmad Shah Abdali and was killed before the Battle of Panipat in the Battle of Kunjpura, in which the Marathas defeated the Afghans. His direct descendants had embroiled in very costly legal disputes over inheritance issues - these were ultimately settled by British judiciary who were occupying India at the time. After the partition of India, the last Nawab of Kunjpura, Nawab Ibrahim Ali Khan, migrated to Lahore in Pakistan, and died in 1953. The Sarkhel tribe claim to be descended from Nawab Najabat Khan through his elder brother Zabita Khan. It is stated in "Tareekh Kunjpura" he was of Zakka Khel clan of Yusufzai tribe. There is no other reference to a tribe or clan called Zakka Khel, therefore it is assumed that the Nawab's Indian descendants may be mistaken as to the origins of the clan. Nawab Najabat Khan's elder brother Zabita Khan returned to Ghorghushti without claim to any of endowment from the land in Kunjpura. Zabita Khan's descendants now live in the town of Ghourghushti. The ancestral home in Mohalla Ishaq Zai is still owned by the descendants of Nawab Najabat Khan's brother, which has attracted well-wishers from Kunjpura, Lahore, Karachi. There is a mention of Nawab Najabat Khan in the Imperial Gazetteer of India V.16 that he was Ghorghusht Pathan
