  • Chor Minar. A protected monument of the Archaelogical Society of India. It is believed that the rulers of Delhi used this to place the beheaded heads of dacoits. This served as a deterrent and warning to the public.
  • It was Allaudin Khilji who used to display the heads of executed brigands here, in order to instill the fear of death in the criminals. Some say the place is haunted.
