Chand Rai

Zamindar of vikramapura, said to be the descendant of one Nim Rai who had come from Karnat and settled in Vikrampur, probably in the early fifteenth century. Chand Rai is controversially identified as the uncle, brother, father or even son of kedar rai. He was probably the son of Jadav Rai and the elder brother of Kedar Rai. He proved himself valiant in fighting the Mughal imperial army and in checking the inroads of the Arakanese. He was killed at bhusna in 1593 in a battle against the Lohani Afghans.
