KANHAIYĀ SIṄGH, BHĀĪ (1881-1921), son of Bhāī Sundar Siṅgh and Māī Atar Kaur of Pharālā village in Jalandhar district, was one of the victims of Mahant Naraiṇ Dās of Nankāṇā Sāhib. One of their relations, Bhāī Bodh Siṅgh, had settled in Chakk No. 91 Dhannūāṇā in Lyallpur district (now in Pakistan). A death occurred in his family and Bhāī Kanhaiyā Siṅgh went there to condole with him. While there, he found that a jathā from that village was getting ready to go for the liberation of Gurdwārā Janam Aṣthān, Nankāṇā Sāhib. Kanhaiyā Siṅgh along with his cousin, Bechint Siṅgh, who also happened to be there for condolences, joined the jathā and attained martyrdom on 20 February 1921.
