Khooni Darwaza (Gate of Death)
In 1857, during the revolt against the British masters,
Captain Hudson of the East India Company arrested
the three princes of the Mughal royal family - Mirza
Mughal, Khij Sultan and Mirza Abubakar - from the
Humayun tomb in the Nizamuddin area of Delhi on
Sept 22. He later reached this spot where the princes
were kept. Large crowds thronged the place. Fearing
that the agitated people might rescue the princes,
the captain got the princes stripped bare above
the waist and shot them one by one.(Khooni means
murderer or murderous or blood-soaked)
