Fateh Singh Ahluwalia

Seeking justice, Fatah Singh seized Phagwara and Banga from Chaudhri Chuhar Mal.

[2] Dewan Mokham Chand laid siege to the fort of Naraingarh, but Kanwar Kishan Singh put up a fierce resistance.

[2] After three weeks of intense fighting, the fort finally fell, and Kanwar Kishan Singh escaped into the hills.

[2] Ranjit Singh's conquests continued as he subdued the powerful Ranghars of Laha, Burewala, Panjlasa, and Chechi-majra.

This led to Budh Singh Singhpuria seeking refuge in British territory across the Satluj river.

Notably, Fateh Singh's contingent contributed significantly to these battles, often under his personal command and at his own expense.

[2] In 1825, Fateh Singh initiated the construction of a summer house near Kapurthala, designed to provide respite from the scorching heat with its thick walls and an underground cell approximately eight meters deep.

The Agent Governor-General at Ludhiana intervened, advising Ranjit Singh against confiscating the Kapurthala state in the Jalandhar Doab.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh refrained from annexing Kapurthala due to his cautious relationship with the British.

However, the timely intervention of the British Agent saved Fateh Singh from losing control over his territories.

[4] As noted by historian Lepel Griffin, "English influence barely sufficed to save Sardar Fateh Singh."
