Worried about the expansion of capabilities Shuja al-Din Khurshid and his subjects, the Abbasid caliph Nasser of God's religion, So he summoned Shuja’ al-Din Khurshid and his brother Nur al-Din Muhammad to Baghdad, and demanded the surrender of Manrud Castle. But Shuja al-Din Khurshid refused to hand over the castle,So the Abbasid caliph the supporter of God's religion imprisoned his brother Nour al-Din Muhammad, where he died in prison.

After Badr al-Din's victory over the Turks, his father, Prince Shuja al-Din Khurshid, chose him as crown prince. As a result, his cousin Saif al-Din Rustam felt jealous of him. Which made him pretend to the prince Shuja al-Din Khurshid that his son Badr al-Din is tired of his father's long life, and intends to assassinate him in order to reach power as soon as possible, So he ordered Shuja al-Din Khurshid,who was influenced by the biography of his nephew Saif al-Din Rustam, to kill his son Badr al-Din secretly. But after a while, Shuja al-Din Khurshid realized the innocence of his son Badr al-Din, and that he killed him treacherously, which made him suffer a lot of grief for the rest of his life, Until he died in the year 1223 AD, and it is said that he died at the age of about 100 years.
After him, his nephew Saif Al-Din Rustam bin Noor Al-Din Muhammad inherited power.[1]
