Mool Singh Chouhan Peelaghata (also spelled Mul Singh, 15 August 1947 – 17 August 2016) was an Indian politician who was elected as a member of legislative assembly on Indian National Congress[1] party symbol to the Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha in 1985 and 2008 from the Raghogarh constituency.
He also served as a zila panchayat head of Guna district in 2001. He was a cousin of Digvijay Singh, a former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and thus related to politician Lakshman Singh, Digvijay's brother. He was resident of Peelaghata village situated in same constituency.[2]
In June 2013, Singh announced that he would be stepping down from the seat at the next elections, paving way for Digvijay Singh's son, Jaivardhan Singh.
