<p class="C1">&#65279KAP&#362R SI&#7748GH, BH&#256&#298 (d. 1924), one of the martyrs of Jaito, was born around the turn of the century, the son of Bh&#257&#299 Var&#299&#257m Si&#7749gh Br&#257&#7771 and M&#257&#299 Nand Kaur, a peasant couple of village La&#7751&#7693e in the present Far&#299dko&#7789  district of the Punjab. He took <i>p&#257hul</i> of the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 and joined the first <i>shah&#299d&#299 jath&#257</i>, or a band of Ak&#257l&#299 volunteers, ready for martyrdom, who were marching towards Jaito, a town in the then N&#257bh&#257 state, to win the right of freedom of worship in the historical Gurdw&#257r&#257 Ga&#7749gsar there. As the <i>jath&#257</i> approached the outskirts of Jaito on the morning of 21 February 1924, it was fired upon by the state security forces. A bullet pierced Bh&#257&#299 Kap&#363r Si&#7749gh's body through the hips. Some comrades carried him to Gurdw&#257r&#257 &#7788ibb&#299 S&#257hib where he succumbed to his injury. The state police took away his body for mass cremation along with twenty odd other victims of the firing. Bh&#257&#299 Kap&#363r Si&#7749gh was unmarried and had already lost his parents.</p>
