This Masjid is the Jamia Masjid has a Mutawalli headed by Wajahat Ahmed Khan (Great Grand son Mahboob Begum Sahiba) as President under the supervision of Dr.Mumtaz Ali Khan Afzal and comprising other family members and legal descendants of Mahboob Begum Sahiba including, Abdul Majeed khan, Abdul Gaffar Khan and Rafiq-ur-Rahman Khan.

Late Nawab Tipu Khan Bahadur also built 6 Mosques, Madarsas in Hyderabad/Secunderabad and the first Travellers Waiting Rooms near Nampally Railway Station known as "Tipu Khan Saraai" for free stay and food to any traveller for 3 days irrespective of caste or community. He was one of very few Noblemen who never aspired for name and fame but donated generously to the poor and needy masses. Its high time the Government of A.P protect it, declare it heritage property, install proper illummination and unveil his name plate on the bridge and recognise this great personality. --- Wajahat Ahmed Khan (Great Grandson of Late Nawab Tipu Khan Bahadur Sahab)
