ali murad khan zand -lrb- c. - 1785 -rrb- the sixth shah of the zand dynasty , reigned from march 15 , 1781 until february 11 , 1785 .
after the death of karim khan zand , agha muhammad khan who was a hostage -- in light of preventing an outbreak of war between the qajar tribes in the northern persia and the zands -- escaped promptly and reached mazandaran .
subsequently he took command of his tribe in astrabad , and declared independence from the zand shah .
therefore , zaki khan dispatched the persian army under the command of his nephew , ali murad khan against the qajar lord .
ali murad khan was given power over the persian army to destroy qajar tribes in the north , but he betrayed abol fath khan , and left him defenseless in capital to be slain by sadiq khan zand .
ali murad then captured isfahan .
he levied high taxes on the people , and tortured and slew whoever refused .
finally on march 14 , 1781 he captured shiraz , and slew sadiq khan , and sat on the throne .
he then ruled until 1785 , when he was overthrown by sadiq 's son jafar .
