This ancient and historical gallows was constructed on the south west side wall of Rohtas fort in forest of Tehsil Dina District Jhelum of Punjab province Pakistan. This gallows and jail was constructed by Sultan-Ul-Hind Sher Shah Suri 483 years ago in 1541 inside the Rohtas fort. A tradition is that many Sufi Saints took part for the construction of this building spiritually. That is the reason it is said that a large numbers of giants took part with human for the construction of this gallows. This gallows consists of 4 storeys and a hole of two and a half feet of diameter is present in the middle of the roof. There were binding places around it for the stability of bamboos. The hole of gallows is round where the board was kept and the circles of ropes had been put in the neck of culprit through bamboos. When the killing board was pulled the culprit hanged under the hole when the breath of culprit stopped and broke his neck than the ropes slacked. The body reached on the ground and the heirs were taken from the door. The body of traitor had been thrown in deep ditches or thrown this body on the roof in front of crows, kites and vultures etc. So that they eat the body. Many different stories about this gallows are present and a room is present under this gallows where had been kept the hungry lions.
