He is said to be the son of a slave girl in the household of Rani Daya Kaur by Jai Ram, a shopkeeper in Lahore.[3][4] He was procured by Daya Kaur and presented to the Sikh Emperor, Maharaja Ranjit Singh who accepted him as his son, he was named Pashaura as they had recently conquered Peshawar.
Pashaura's son, Jagjoth Singh was born in 1844 and was granted a half-share of a large jagir in Baraich, Oudh, after the annexation. He was a great philanthropist and public benefactor, who performed valuable services to the government during the Second Afghan War. He had a son Amar Singh. (b. 1876).
After the assassination of Maharaja Sher Singh, Pashaura made a bid for the throne of the Sikh Empire.
To hide from his political rivals and avoid assassination, he took refuge in British territory, from 1844 to 1845. He then returned to the Punjab, revolted, and was pardoned several times.
He was eventually strangled to death by Malik Fateh Khan Tiwana and Sardar Chattar Singh Attariwalla, at Attock, while in safe custody, 11 September 1845.
Jagjoth Singh was his only one son.
