They mutinied on May 21, plundered the Treasury and marched off to Dehli. The town was plundered and the Station burnt by the Goojars. The Officers went to Meerut, but returned in four or five days. They were again driven out by the rebels under Wali Dad of Malagarh, who held the district till the fall of Dehli. Sapte served with the Khakee Resalla raised by Dunlop in the Meerut district; accompanied Colonel Greathed's Force from Dehli; was present at the action of Bulundshahr on Sept. 29, in which Wali Dad and a large force of mutineers were defeated, losing their guns and ammunition, and were driven across the Ganges into Rohilcund. Wali Dad, for whose capture a lac of rupees was offered, was never heard of again. Sapte with Colonel Farquhar's Force patrolled the right bank of the Ganges to prevent any rebels crossing, and on December 13 was present at the action of Gangeera under Colonel Seatoii.
