History

A number of Panni Pashtuns migrated from their homeland in the Koh-i-Suleiman and Balochistan to the Lodi Sultanate of Afghan king Bahlul Lodi.[2]

During the time of Sultan Sher Shah Suri, the powerful Rohtas Fort of Bihar was garrisoned by 10,000 matchlock men with command entrusted on Ikhtiyar Khan Panni, one of the Amirs of the Sultan.[3]
