Chattar Lal was the Prime Minister of Pankot. Well-spoken and outwardly demure, the Oxford educated Lal was secretly a fanatical member of the murderous Thuggee, devoted to worshiping Kali Ma with human sacrifice. Through regularly administered doses of psychotropic drugs, he subjugated Pankot's young ruler, the Maharajah Zalim Singh, thus allowing the Thuggee to operate with impunity inside Pankot—until 1935, when Indiana Jones, on a mission to destroy the sect, appeared outside the Pankot Palace gates. Though injured in the ensuing battle, Lal escaped the palace with a good amount of stolen treasure.

The character was portrayed in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom by veteran actor Roshan Seth.
In the novelization of the film, Lal attempts to attack Jones in the Thuggee cavern and is knocked into the lava pit by him.
In the Lego version of the game, Indy and Short Round must rescue Willie Scott and defeat Lal. However, Lal's body bursts into Lego pieces because Indy triggered the heated floors Lal was on.
