Rup Deo (or Roop Deo) was the Rana of Alirajpur from 1871 until his death in 1881.
Early life and career
When his father, Jaswant Singh, died in 1862, he left behind a will stating that the state of Alirajpur was to be divided equally between his sons, Ganga Deo and Rup Deo. However, the will was not followed, and the Government of India decided that Ganga Deo should succeed to his father's titles, while suitable provisions would be made for Rup Deo. Accordingly, arrangements were made. When his eldest brother was deposed in 1869 and Alirajpur was placed under superintendence, he was given a role in the administration.
Death
He died without any issue in 1881. His death led to a succession dispute in Alirajpur which was resolved when the Government of India selected Bijai Singh as his successor.
