Bhai Kanhaiya Singh (1881 – 20.2.1921), son of Bhai Sunder Singh, was born at village Pharala (district Jullundur). In February 1921, he and his cousin Bachint Singh went to Chakk No. 91 Dhannuan (district Lyallpur, now Faisalabad, Pakistan), to express their condolence on the death of some relative who lived there. There, they came to know that Bhai Lachhman Singh was leading a Jatha for the liberation of the Gurdwaras at Nanakana Sahib. Bhai Kanhaiya Singh and his cousin Bhai Bachint Singh too joined the Jatha. The Jatha reached Nanakana Sahib on February 20, 1921, where the debauched manager of the shrine mercilessly killed all the members of the Jatha.
