Raja Man Singh (born 5 December 1921 – died 21 February 1985[1][2]) was an Indian politician and titular head of princely Bharatpur State.[3] He was seven-time Independent Member of Legislative Assembly from Deeg assembly constituency from 1952 to 1984. He was the son of Kishan Singh of Bharatpur.[1]

He was killed along with his two supporters in a fake police encounter[4] in February 1985 after an incident of violence in which Rajasthan's then chief minister Shiv Charan Mathur's helicopter was damaged.[1] His murder case was investigated by the CBI.[5] Singh's murder led to the resignation of CM Shiv Charan Mathur.[6][1] On 20 July 2020, a special CBI court in Mathura convicted 11 policemen, including former Deputy Superintendent of Police Kan Singh Bhati in Raja Man Singh's murder case.[4][7]
