Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Shivaji Maharaj, faced brutal torture at the hands of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb after his capture in 1689. He was subjected to inhumane treatment, including physical violence, mutilation, and psychological torment, as Aurangzeb sought to break his spirit and extract information about his allies. Reports suggest that he was tortured by having his tongue pierced and subjected to other forms of gruesome punishment, ultimately leading to his execution. Despite the torture, Sambhaji displayed remarkable resilience and courage until his death.
