DescriptionTower of Thieves.JPG

English: Chor Minar No. 289 Vol III

Chor Minar or 'Tower of Thieves' is a 13th century minaret with 225 holes,[1] situated just off Aurobindo Marg in the Hauz Khas area, in New Delhi.[2][3]. It was built under the rule of Alauddin Khilji[4], of the Khilji dynasty (1290–1320) in the thirteenth century.[5] According to local legends, it was a 'tower of beheading', where the severed heads of thieves were displayed on spear through its 225 holes, to act as a deterrent to thieves[2][6], though some historian suggest that the Khilji king slaughtered a settlement of Mongol people, nearby, to stop them from joining with their brethren in another Mongol settlement in Delhi, the present day locality of 'Mongolpuri'.

During the raid of Ali Beg, Tartaq and Targhi (1305), 8,000 Mongol prisoners were executed and their heads displayed is the towers around Siri[
