1857 - Mangal Pandey, a sepoy of the 34th Regiment of the Bengal Native Infantry (BNI) mutinied against his commanding officers of the East India Company on 29 March 1857.
This event and his role in the subsequent events led to more resentment among the sepoys of the Bengal Army ultimately aiding in the Revolt of 1857. Also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, the Revolt of 1857 resulted in the dissolution of the East India Company and the beginning of the British Raj through the Government of India Act 1858.
Mangal Pandey was executed on 8 April 1857.
