Chambal's dacoit Mohar Singh died on May 5. He was 93. Mohar Singh passed away peacefully in his sleep in Mehgaon village of MP’s Bhind district. Singh lived the remainder of his life in the fading flashes of his past. Malkhan Singh, who took to the gun a decade after Mohar, still talks of him with awe. “It’s sad, I could not attend his funeral because of the lockdown. But, I can tell you he was a good gang leader and a man of honour,” says Malkhan, who surrendered in 1982.
