Sahibzada Fateh Singh (26.2.1699 – 12.12.1705), born to Mata Jit Kaur, was the youngest son of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib. His mother died when he was just 9 months old. He was brought up by his grandmother Mata Gujari. On December 5, 1705, he left Aanandpur Sahib along with his brother Zorawar Singh and grandmother Mata Gujari. On December 8, 1705, he was arrested on information given by a servant of Masands Dhumman and Darbari of village Saheri. Sahibzada Fateh Singh was asked to chose between Islam and death. On refusal to embrace Islam, he was bricked alive and was, later, murdered, on orders of Wazir Chand, the Faujdar of Sirhind, on December 12, 1705.
