Taliban rule
During the Taliban occupation of the Swat District, it became notorious as the place where the corpses of people summarily executed by the group were displayed each morning. The square thus earned the name Khooni Chowk ("Bloody Square"). The Taliban had heralded their ascendency in the area by killing the famous Pakistani dancer Shabana in the square.
