Chattar Singh Attariwala
Governor of Hazara whose rising in 1848, with his son Sher Singh, turned the Multan revolt into a full war.
Chattar Singh Attariwala, of the Attari family, was governor of Hazara under the British-controlled Lahore government after 1846. His daughter was betrothed to the young Maharaja Duleep Singh.
In 1848 the British resident, believing him disloyal, and a British officer, James Abbott, roused the Muslim tribes of Hazara against him. Chattar Singh took up arms, and with his son Sher Singh turned the Multan revolt into a full war.
He surrendered with his son after the defeat at Gujrat in March 1849 and was imprisoned and exiled. He died in 1855.
