<p class="C1">&#65279P&#256IND&#256 <u>KH</u>&#256N (d.1844), chief of Darband lying on the eastern bank of the River Indus in a narrow valley, remained  in rebellion against the Sikh government from the time Ranj&#299t Si&#7749gh had occupied Attock in 1813. Unable to expel the Sikh garrisons established at various strategic places, he set himself up on the western bank of the Indus at Amb, and continued making  sporadic raids and plundering the people, especially in the areas of Chhachh, Haz&#257r&#257, Muzaffar&#257b&#257d and Nausher&#257. A force was sent against him from Pesh&#257war, and he fled away into the hills. Yet he continued to disturb the peace in the region. R&#257j&#257 Gul&#257b Si&#7749gh instigated him to defy the authority of the Lahore Darb&#257r. In September 1844, General Dhau&#7749kal Si&#7749gh, commanding officer of the 'Sikh troops in Haz&#257r&#257, had P&#257ind&#257 <u>Kh</u>&#257n poisoned to death.</p>
