Massa Ranghar, formally Ranghar, also known by his birth name Musalal Khan was the Ranghar choudhary of Mandiala. In 1738, Qazi Abdul Razzaq was killed in an encounter with the Sikhs under Nawab Kapur Singh. The Subahdar (Governor) of Lahore Zakariya Khan Bahadur, appointed Massa Ranghar as the Commandant of Amritsar. He used the precincts of the Golden Temple for amusement with dancing girls.[1]
