From Martyrs to Meals: Delhi's 'phansi ghar' is Actually a 'tiffin ghar'
The Morning Standard
|August 06, 2025
What was once unveiled with great solemnity as a British-era phansi-ghar (gallows chamber) inside the Delhi Assembly has now been revealed to be what it always was...a tiffin room.
Back in 2022, then Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had inaugurated the room with solemn nods to India's freedom struggle. A plaque dated August 9, 1942, was installed. Visitors were told this was a place of blood and sacrifice, where the British hung revolutionaries.
Fast forward to this week, Speaker Vijender Gupta decided to do a little fact-checking. He was armed with a 2011 architectural map. Gupta stood in the House and declared, "No gallows ever stood there, nor does one exist now." That rope contraption? A dumbwaiter. That ominous-looking trapdoor? Just a wooden lift for transporting food.
In short: Not a place of execution. Just a glorified food elevator.
