Khooni Darwaza or Lal Darwaza
Built by Sher Shah Suri in 1540, the Khooni Darwaza (Bloody Gate) earned its
name after the three princes of the Mughal dynasty - Bahadur Shah Zafar's sons
Mirza Mughal and Khizr Sultan and grandson Mirza Abu Bakr, were shot by William
Hodson on September 22, 1857 during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
After having secured the surrender of the Emperor, Hodson the next day asked
for an unconditional surrender from the three princes at Humayun's Tomb. They
had gathered an army of thousands of rebels and refused.
Hodson, armed with one hundred horsemen ordered the band to disarm which they
did. Thus he got an unconditional surrender of the three princess. On their way
to the Red Fort, Hodson ordered the three to get down at the spot, stripped
them naked and shot them dead at point blank range. The bodies were then taken
away and put up for public display in front of a Kotwali.
It is believed that blood drips from its ceiling during monsoon and the
restless spirits of Zafar’s sons still float around in the ruin. :-0 |
