Jathedar Prahlad Singh was a Nihang Singh and 8th Jathedar of Shiromani Panth Budha Dal.[1] He became Jathedar of Budha Dal in 1846 and also became Jathedar of Akal Takhat. In 1865 during the Akal takht elections the British supported Arur Singh Naushera and so fights and riots broke and so the British and Patiala forces came in and so Jathedar Prahlad Singh led a small revolt to support his claim

When Nihang Singhs moved out of Punjab after fighting with Patiala Ruler and British, they started moving towards Nanded. Ala Singh (not to be confused with baba Ala Singh) a hazur sahib pujari (priest) attacked Prahlad Singu. Prahlad Singh attained martyrdom while fighting with Priest Ala Singh of Hazoor Sahib and Ala Singh also got killed in same battle.[2]
