His reign began on 18 January 1841 following his assault on Lahore which ended the brief regency of Maharani Chand Kaur. He was assassinated on 15 September 1843 by Ajit Singh Sandhawalia, a relative. His short reign only lasted for two years. An experienced military-man, Sher Singh had the backing of the Sikh Army."
