Commander in chief Abhiman Singh Rana Magar (Nepali: अभिमान सिंह राना मगर) was an army General and Minister of Nepal until September 15, 1846, and the first victim of the Kot massacre of 1846. According to a government letter to then-British Resident, Major Lawrence in Kathmandu, 32 Bhardars (Nobles) were killed in the massacre catapulting Jung Bahadur, who later became Ranas, to power.
Historians have written about Abhiman Singh Rana Magar from different angles: some saying that he was not very interested in becoming Prime Minister of the country. However, few others contesting otherwise have written the queen had favoured him also.
