Kushal Singh Dahiya
Kushal Singh Dahiya or Bhai Kushal Singh Dahiya was a Hindu Jat from the village of Badhkhalsa in what is now Sonipat, Haryana, India. He offered his head in place of that of the Guru Tegh Bahadur, which was being taken to Anandpur Sahib by a follower and which Mughals wanted to seize. Dahiya was thus killed for that purpose.[1][2]
