Madhav Singha Dev(also known as Madhab Singha Deba[1]) was the fifty-seventh king of Mallabhum. He ruled from 1801 to 1809 CE.[2][3]
History
[edit]During his rule, the Ghatowal Mahal was put up for auction. Dissatisfied with living on the stipend from the East India Company, he attempted to raid the Bankura treasury. However, his attempt was unsuccessful, leading to his capture and imprisonment, where he eventually died[2]
In 1801, the kingdom was officially downgraded to a Zamindari, or a landholding, under the rule of King Madhab Singha Deba.[1]
