Anup Rai

Raja Anup Rai (Singh Dalan) was a Rajput nobleman of Bargujar ancestry in seventeenth century India, and a courtier of the Mughal emperor, Jahangir.

[citation needed] Jahangir dismounted from his horse and fired his musket at a lion during the hunt, but only wounded the animal.

The crown prince, Khurram, and another member of the hunting party, Raja Ram Das, attacked the lion with swords.

Sir Thomas Roe, the first English ambassador in India, records that General Asaf Khan and Prince Eteman Daulat waited until Jahangir was drunk one night and tricked the inebriated emperor into agreeing to release Khusrau into the prince's hands.

[citation needed] The town of Anupshahr in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh state was founded by raja Anup singh badgujar.
