Years: 1843 - 1843
Sher Singh is unable to meet the pay demands of the Khalsa, although he reportedly lavishes funds on a degenerate court.
In September 1843 he is murdered by an officer of the Khalsa, Ajit Singh Sindhanwalia.
The Dogras take their revenge on those responsible, and the Messalina of the Punjab (Maharani Jind Kaur), Ranjit Singh's youngest widow, becomes Regent for her infant son Duleep Singh (whose paternity is disputed).
