Bhupat Singh
Bhupat Singh was a famous dacoit of India in the late 1940s and early 1950s.[1][2][3] He was the man responsible for delay in the 1951–52 Indian general election.[4][5] He was active in Saurashtra (state). Later, he came to Pakistan, converted to Islam and adopted the name "Amin Yusuf".[6] In 1956, Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistani prime minister Mohammad Ali Bogra talked about handing Bhupat back over to India secretly. However, when this was reported in Indian media, Pakistani officials stepped back.[7] He died in 2006. He left behind two sons and two daughters.
