I visited his famous jail. It was interesting to know some facts about Tipu, like how he used to keep British prisoners in that jail.

He used to tie prisoners to stones on the left and right sides of the jail and fill the jail with water. The prisoners used to die in jail when the water level filled their nostrils and left them to die.
