Summary
On 29 March Mangal Pandey, a sepoy of the 34th Bengal Native Infantry, tried to incite his regiment to mutiny. He wounded Lieutenant Baugh before being overpowered. He was hanged on 8 April and the 34th BNI disbanded in disgrace as a collective punishment. This is generally considered to be the first act of the Indian Mutiny.
