The regiment was disarmed on 13 May 1857 at Meean Meer. On 30 July Major Spencer was murdered and the 26th Native Infantry fled south unarmed to the River Ravi. The next day they were attacked by villagers and police and 150 were killed. They retreated to an island in the river and then surrendered to Mr Francis Cooper, Deputy Commissioner of the Punjab, and a detachment of Sikh horse .
