Nizamshah felt threatened by his fearlessness and send his siddi commanders Piramkhan and a troop of 3 ships to capture the fort in the year 1527. Burkhankhan a successor of Piramkhan demolished the wooden structure and built an impregnable stone fort in between 1567 and 1571. It was then called as "Jazeere Mahroob".
