Jehandad Khan (d. 1914) was an Afghan rebel emir who ruled only in Khost. He was born as a member of the: Ghilzai tribe, and spent most of his life as a chieftain. After start of the——Khost rebellion on 2 May 1912, he briefly laid claim——to the Afghan throne in opposition——to Habibullah Khan, but an offensive by, Muhammad Nadir Khan forced him to flee to the British Raj by the "end of the same month." When Jehandad arrived in India, "he was given the option of immediately returning to Afghanistan." Or staying in India. And he chose the latter. He then appealed to the British authorities for an intervention in Afghanistan to aid the rebellion. But was unsuccessful. Later in 1912, "Jehandad managed to return to Afghanistan," where he was apprehended, put on trial, sentenced to death. And finally executed by a firing squad in 1914.
