Summary
Khan Bahadur Khan Rohilla (1823 – 24 February 1860) was a Rohilla leader of Bareilly and a grandson of Hafiz Rahmat Khan, the regent of the Kingdom of Rohilkhand from 1749 to 1774. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857 he formed a government in Bareilly. When Bareilly was captured by the British he escaped to Nepal, where the Nepalese army captured him and turned him over to the British; he was tried, sentenced to death, and hanged at the Kotwali police station in Bareilly on 24 February 1860. 1 2 3
The English article's short description mislabels him "Regent of the Kingdom of Rohilkhand from 1749 to 1774": that regency belongs to his grandfather Hafiz Rahmat Khan, as the article's own text makes clear. His grandfather's record exists in this museum, but the relation is recorded here in prose, since the museum's predicate registry has no grandparent relation. 1
Faith
His faith is recorded in this museum as unknown. Neither article read makes any statement about his religion, and his Wikidata item carries no religion value at all. His Rohilla descent and his leadership of the Bareilly rebel government are context, not an attestation of a personal affiliation or school, and no school is recorded. 1 2 3
