Madrasah of Kutlug-Murad-inak is located opposite to Madrasah of Allakuli-khan. Kutlug-Murad-inak was uncle of Allakuli-khan. He was buried in this madrasah. As he died outside the city and customs prohibited to carry the dead through Ichan-Qala's gates or wall, the city wall was broken to bury him.
