Some stayed behind under the Russian rule. . Ayrom climbed up the ranks swiftly, becoming a colonel of Iran's cossack brigade as early as 1901. He became Chief of Iran's Central Police (Shahrbāni)in 1931. At the height of his career, he was viewed as more powerful than a Cabinet member and Reza Shah's right-hand man. His abuses of his position included graft, framing innocent people and smuggling and seeing what was happening to others he pretended to be ill and left Iran permanently. He died on 31 March 1948 in Liechtenstein while staying there for medical treatment for his illness.[citation needed]
