After a spell in the Crimea he returned to India in 1857 shortly before the [[Indian Mutiny]] broke out. Neil Neill left Madras for [[Benares]] where he ruthlessly crushed the mutineers. He then moved to [[Allahabad]] where he relieved the besieged garrison. After the [[Recapture of Cawnpore July 1857|Recapture of Cawnpore]] in July, Neill was left in command by [[Henry Havelock|Sir Henry Havelock]] and he proceeded extract merciless vengeance for the recent massacres.
