Bawana is one of the 70 assembly constituencies in Delhi and falls under the North West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency. The origins of Bawana in Delhi's North West district are linked to two Gaur Brahmins, Kala and Thukrai. The area is well-known for housing the Bawana Jail, which serves as the jail headquarters. This facility, built under the leadership of the Bawana Jail authorities, holds historical significance as one of Delhi’s four jails during the British era, alongside those in Mehrauli, Delhi, and Najafgarh.
