Bhai Kaattha Singh (? – 7.12.1705) was a dedicated Sikh of the time of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib. He was one of the 40 Sikhs who sacrificed their lives in the battle of Chamkaur, on December 7, 1705. Bhai Madan Singh and Bhai Kaattha Singh were the guards of the main gate of the mansion (fortress) at Chamkaur. During this battle the Sikhs repulsed the attack of the army of Nahar Khan Malaria but one daring Pathan soldier continued attacks. He, finally, succeeded in reaching near the gate of the fortress. He (the Pathan) attacked Bhai Madan Singh and Bhai Kaattha Singh. Both of them were killed there. The Pathan soldier too was killed.
