They were on the Dera Ghazi Khan border of the Punjab province of Pakistan. They are of Kakar origin.

They were traditional enemies of the Khetrans and the Baluch tribes to the south of their country. In 1879 the Musa Khels and other Pathan tribes to the number of 5000 made a demonstration against Vihowa, but the town was reinforced and they dispersed. In 1884 they were punished, together with the Kakars, by the Zhob Valley Expedition.
