Haseena
A conniving Hindu official who works for the police and under Hukum Chand. He sees Iqbal Singh for the first time when the latter arrives at the Mano Majra train station the day after the dacoity, making it impossible for Iqbal to have been present during the robbery. He falsely imprisons Iqbal and Juggut Singh for the murder of Lala Ram Lal under orders from Hukum Chand, who wants the men to be held in jail so that they cannot make trouble in the village. The subinspector plots with the head constable to frame Iqbal and threatens Juggut with torture to get the names of those who committed the robbery.
