In 1861, he revolted against his brother, [[Thuwaini bin Said]], who had succeeded his father as Sultan of Oman. The division of Muscat and Zanzibar meant that Sohar would be under the authority of Thuwaini which Turki refused to accept. He was imprisoned and [[Salim bin Thuwaini]] was appointed as the new Wali of Sohar. The British authorities intervened and Thuwaini was released from prison in 1862.<ref name="info">{{cite web |title=Imans and Sultans of the Busaidi Dynasty |url=https://www.omaninfo.om/module.php?m=pages-showpage&CatID=161&ID=865 |website=Ministry of Information}}</ref> After Salim killed his father and took the throne in 1866, Turki was again imprisoned and subsequently released due to British intervention.
