About 1820, he was sent on a mission to Pesh&#257war where, much to the chagrin of the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257, he cultivated treacherously friendly relations with Dost Muhammad <u>Kh</u>&#257n, the B&#257rakza&#299 chief of K&#257bul. Jai Si&#7749gh was soon recalled to Lahore. Fearing chastisement, he hatched a plot to assassinate the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 in collusion with his cousin, Jagat Si&#7749gh, and Buddh Si&#7749gh Sandh&#257&#7749v&#257l&#299&#257, a collateral of the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257. The two A&#7789&#257r&#299v&#257l&#257 <i>sard&#257rs</i> entered the Samman Burj, the residence of the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257, to execute their design, but could not succeed in their plan. Jai Si&#7749gh fled to his Af<u>gh</u>&#257n friend, Dost Muhammad <u>Kh</u>&#257n. During the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257's campaign towards Pesh&#257war in 1823, Jai Si&#7749gh left Pesh&#257war and came to the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257's group at Ako&#7771&#257 after the battle of &#7788er&#299. The Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 forgave him and deputed him as one of his agents to arrange for a meeting with Y&#257r Muhammad <u>Kh</u>&#257n and Dost Muhammad <u>Kh</u>&#257n.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jai Si&#7749gh died in 1838.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Griffin, Lepel, and C.F.
