The mysterious malcha mahal most haunted place in delhi
Malcha Mahal, also known as Wilayat Mahal, is a Tughlak era hunting lodge in the Chanakyapuri area of New Delhi, India next to the Delhi Earth Station of the Indian Space Research Organisation. It was built by Firuz Shah Tughlaq, who reigned over the Sultanate of Delhi, in 1325. It was renamed to Wilayat Mahal after Begum Wilayat Mahal of Awadh who was reportedly given the place by the Government of India in May 1985. On 10 September 1993, Begum committed suicide at the age of 62 by consuming crushed diamonds.

History
Malcha Mahal is located in Malcha, one of the historical villages around Raisina Hill. Malcha, along with Raisina, Todapur, Aliganj, Pillanji, Jaisinghpura, and Kushak villages was moved by the British during the construction of capital New Delhi in 1920s, especially the Viceroy's House, which is now known as the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Inhabitation by Wilayat Mahal
Wilayat Mahal, self-proclaimed great granddaughter of the last Nawab of Awadh Wajid Ali Shah, was reportedly allotted the Mahal in May 1985 by the Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi after nine years of protest living in a waiting room at the New Delhi Railway Station as compensation for her ancestral property in Awadh which was seized when Wajid Ali Shah's kingdom was annexed by the British.
