This octagonal tomb is of Isa Khan, an influence nobleman at the court of Sher Shah Suri. The design of this tomb is similar to the tomb of Sayyid Lodhi. Though his tomb is located within the Humayun Tomb complex, Isa Khan had no connection with the Mughal Emperor and died before Humayun came to power.
