Salim Singh Haveli:

The small haveli was built by Salim Singh Mehta, who became prime minister in 1800 after his father was murdered for publicly challenging a Rajput prince to repay a loan.

From an early age, Salim seemed hell-bent on avenging this crime, impoverishing Jaisalmer's citizens through vigorous taxation and extortion rackets, and holding the royal family to ransom by raising interest rates on their huge loans. He was eventually stabbed by a furious Rajput and his wife made sure the wound wouldn't heal by infesting it with poison.
