Raja ShenshePal Khan was a Rajput ruler of the state of Kotli, Kashmir who established the City of Sehnsa, which is now one of the largest towns of Pakistan-administered Azad Kashmir.

Raja ShenshePal Khan was the grandson of Raja Mangarpal and the son of Hani Dev, a Rajput prince originally from Jangladesh, Rajasthan. Hani Dev settled in the Royal Court of the rulers of Kashmir in Sialkot (Winter Capital) whilst his brother Nirmal Dev stayed in Jangladesh. Following the death of his father, Raja Mangarpal moved to Kashmir, where he ruled the state of Kotli, now a Tesil and a district of Azad Kashmir. Kotli was then known as Kotli Mangralan.

Raja Shenshe Pal Khan converted to Islam, after which all of his followers did the same.

The descendants of Raja Shenshepal Khan are:

  • Raja Raheem Khan (settled in Malot)
  • Raja Daan Khan (settled in Sehnsa)
  • Raja Shahstra Khan (settled in Bratla)
  • Raja Menda Khan
