Darogha
Daroghas (Urdu: دروغا) were police officials in the Mughal Empire and the British Raj.[1] Daroghas answered to district magistrates who were in charge of areas at least 100 square miles (26,000 ha; 64,000 acres); because the magistrates were responsible for such a large area, the daroghas were normally the most powerful local authorities.[2] In some cases, daroghas were in charge of factories.[3] Descendents of daroghas continue to apply this title before or after their names. Two prominent examples include Darogha Ubbas Alli and Mohra Darogha.
