The museum will host at least 2,000 digitized police records and material chronicling murder, loot and kidnapping by the outlaws, who held sway in parts of three states including Madhya Pradesh.īhind police personnel have so far donated 300,000 rupees or 3,410 euros towards the museum, added Rajesh Hingankar, another officer. “They were a blood-thirsty lot and we fought them and we won.”
“They were not.These dacoits were mortals driven by greed, driven by lust and driven by money,” he said. “This is a very good idea because the police should know the actual facts rather than read that these people were Robin Hoods,” Banerjee told RFI.
Anando Lal Banerjee, a former state police chief of Uttar Pradesh hoped the museum in Bhind, the first of its kind in India, would help correct the larger-than-life image of some of the killers.
