Abhiman Singh became the first Commander in Chief of a United Nepal after General Kalu Pande died during his second attempt to capture Kirtipur. He had participated in invasion of Makawanpur during Unification of Nepal. He commanded battles in Sino-Nepalese War as subordinate commander under Chautariya Shree Krishna Shah. He commanded and annexed Tanahun Kingdom into unified Nepal. In 1794 AD, King Rana Bahadur Shah dissolved government to overthrow Bahadur Shah of Nepal. Kirtiman was appointed as Chief (Mul) Kaji among the four Kajis succeeding Abhiman Singh. In 1857 B.S., he was sent to settle the area of the Kirata regional areas comprising; Pallo Kirant Limbuwan , Majh Kirant Khambuwan and Wallo Kirant , then called Kaala Banzaar. It was a great injustice to him to being sent to this area at such age when he was already a Mulkazi. Abhiman Singh died at the age of fifty-six in 1857. He was reported to have died from a fever, possibly malaria.
