They were very few in number. But their heroic deeds put fuel to the fire. This was the time when the danger of revolt emanated from Lahore, Jullunder and Peshawar as well. At most of these places Hindustani regiments known as Nussree Battalions were posted. It was at Kasauli that a group of native sepoys had looted the government treasury and fled to Jutogh under the leadership of Subedar Bhim Singh. A police chowky was also burnt. Their aim was to attack the British officers and families at Simla. This operation could have been suc cessful but for the treacherous behaviour of his fellows who had leaked the plan to authorities.
