During the course of the Great Revolt of 1857, the leadership at Delhi was nominally in the hands of Bahadur Shah, but the real control was exercised by General Bakht Khan. General Bakht Khan was appointed as ‘subedar’, the chief native commanding officer, in the East India Company army at Bareilly. Indian Rebellion of 1857 started with sepoys mutiny. When the outbreak of the mutiny reached Bareilly the sepoys there acclaimed Subhedar Bahadur as their general. The Bakht Khan took the responsibility and marched to Delhi to support the Mughal army.
