Singh, as his representative of Tikari Raj in Murshidabad.
Raja Dund Bahadur Singh served for several years at the
court of the Nawab of Bengal as the representative of Tikari Raj.
During his long stay at the Bengal royal court, Dund Bahadur
Singh developed a close relationship with Mir Qasim.
At this time, the Nawab of Bengal, Mir Qasim, deceitfully
summoned Raja Fateh Singh, Raja Buniyad Singh, and Fateh Singh's minor son,
Trilok Singh, from Tikari Raj to his fort in Munger. He imprisoned them inside
the fort and brutally had them murdered.
