Baqir Khan

Bagher Khān (Persian: باقرخان; c. 1870 – November 1916) honorarily titled Sālār-e Melli (سالار ملی "National Chieftain") or Baqir Khān, was one of the key figures in the Iranian Constitutional Revolution.

[1] Bagher Khan was born in Tabriz, Iran in the 1870s and was the son of Haj Reza Bana.

On 22 March 1909, Bagher Khan led the Revolutionary Militia to victory in the Battle of Saridag in which the supply routes to Tabriz were opened.

[3] In November 1916, while wandering near Qasr-e Shirin, he was offered accommodation by Mohammad Amin Talebani.

On the same night, Talebani murdered Bagher Khan and his companions, and threw their bodies away nearby.
