Khawaja Shamsuddin Khawafi supervised the construction of Attock Fort at Attock Khurd during the reign of Akbar from 1581 to 1583 in order to protect the Indus River’s flow. The fort was used as a key defense line against Afghan invaders. The Maratha Empire briefly took Attock on April 28, 1758, and it later served as the northern border of its kingdom.
The fort was captured in 1812 by Sikhs and the British took over the fort later. After the Partition of India, Pakistan Army took control of the fort. In 1956, the fort was handed over to the Special Services Group (SSG), a special operations force of the Pak Army
