This Dargahi Singh came of a family of freebooters, but the wise Wazir Najib-ud-daula bribed him with the lease of 133 villages of which he had forcibly possessed himself, and the high sounding title of chormári, (the "thief-smasher") to restrain his former companions, of whom his father, Shambujit Singh, had been leader.
