Brajesh Singh

He hailed from the royal family of Kalakankar near Allahabad, and his nephew Dinesh Singh was a minister in the Indian cabinet.

[3] His first wife was Kunwarani Laxmi Devi, followed by Leela, an Austrian woman with whom he had a son named Victor Singh.

In an interview on 26 April 1967, Alliluyeva said that she considered Singh to be her husband but that Aleksei Kosygin never allowed them to legally marry.

[1] It will be seen from independent information that BRAJESH SINGH LAL and his brother are actively supporting the Indian-Irish Independence League in Dublin, which is under the control of the group composed of V. J. Patel, R. B. Lotwala and I. K. Yajnik.After arriving in Dublin, Singh applied for an Irish Free State emergency passport that would be valid for five years, which provided him with ample time in Europe.

Singh followed her, but due to his inability to find work in England, he returned back to India after divorcing her.

[2]: 28 [4]: 352– [10] In October 1963, while recuperating from bronchitis at Kuntsevo Hospital, Singh met Svetlana Alliluyeva,[11]: 2  who was there for a tonsillectomy.

[12]: 11  At the time, Svetlana was reading a biography on Mahatma Gandhi and wanted to ask an Indian like Singh about the subject.

However, he and Svetlana came up with a new plan, where Singh would go to Russia from India and work as a translator of Russian texts into Hindi.

[4]: 361— [15] Singh was isolated after falling under the government's scrutiny, his Indian friends in Moscow stopped visiting him.

Dinesh Singh, his nephew, who under the pro-Soviet government headed by Indira Gandhi, had become the deputy minister of the Department of Foreign Affairs stopped responding to him.

It had now become increasingly clear to Singh that political machinations were trying to disrepute him as being incompetent so that his legal right to stay in the USSR could be revoked.

Singh soon became critically ill. After being admitted and wrongly diagnosed with tuberculosis at Intourist Polyclinic, he was taken back into Kuntsevo Hospital by Svetlana.

Afterward he told Svetlana that in India, the dream was considered as an omen of approaching death, "Sveta, I know that I will die today."

At 7 A.M, Monday, 31 October 1966, Singh while pointing at his heart and then at his head, said that he felt something throbbing, and then he passed away at his home.

Svetlana did not weep at Singh's death and shortly afterward she contacted his Indian friends who lived in Russia.

[18] Dinesh Singh, his nephew, wrote to Svetlana, stating that she was invited to stay at his house and that he had managed to secure a funeral in traditional manner.

Dinesh Singh requested her to delay her visit until next month, on 12 December, when he would be free from parliamentary work.

[4]: 372–375 [19]: 114 [20][15][5] After landing at Lucknow airport, they drove to Raj Bhavan, the palace of the royal family of Kalakankar.

[4]: 523 Brajesh Singh Memorial Hospital building now serves as a private school due to Svetlana's inability to provide funds for it during her financial crisis.
