<p class="C1">&#65279K&#256HN SI&#7748GH M&#256N (d.1848), son of Hukam Si&#7749gh, was appointed commandant of Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh's bodyguard at a comparatively young age. He took part in several campaigns under the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257, rising to the rank of general in 1836, commanding four regiments of infantry and a 10-gun, <i>&#7693er&#257</i> of artillery. In 1846, after the first Anglo-Sikh war, K&#257hn Si&#7749gh was sent at the head of an expedition against Shai<u>kh</u> Im&#257m ud-D&#299n, the rebellious governor of Kashm&#299r. He succeeded in bringing Im&#257m ud-D&#299n a prisoner to Lahore without having to fire a shot. Next year, he was appointed by the Lahore Darb&#257r, on the recommendation of the Resident, Henry Lawrence, to the judgeship of Lahore as successor to Ra&#7751jodh Si&#7749gh Maj&#299&#7789h&#299&#257. In March 1848, Frederick Currie, the acting British Resident at Lahore, nominated General K&#257hn Si&#7749gh governor of Mult&#257n to replace D&#299w&#257n M&#363l R&#257j who had resigned. Reaching Mult&#257n on 14 April 1848 he recommended to the British officers to take the Fort without delay. On 19 April, as General K&#257hn Si&#7749gh M&#257n and the British officers were coming out of the Fort after taking over charge from D&#299w&#257n M&#363l R&#257j, two Mult&#257n sepoys attacked and killed two British officers, Vans Agnew and William Anderson. D&#299w&#257n M&#363l R&#257j rebelled and imprisoned K&#257hn Si&#7749gh and his minor son, Vas&#257v&#257 Si&#7749gh. When the British army bombarded the Fort, both father and son perished in the prison on 30 December 1848.</p>
