Mangal Pandey was hanged at the parade ground in Barrackpore.
To ensure that the future generations of the country can breathe free air, how many people of freedom sacrificed their lives by laughing. The day of April 8 is dedicated to them. In 1857, Mangal Pandey, who burnt the flame of independence for the first time in the country, was hanged on 8 April. But let us tell you that the date of April 8 in the pages of history would not have been recorded as the last day of Mangal Pandey, if on April 7, the executioners do not know who to hang on.
A status of dilemma in front of the British
In fact, the day of April 18, 1857 was fixed for the hanging of Mangal Pandey, but seeing the threat of revolt and provoking, the British wanted to hang them on 7 April a few days ago, but could not give it. Babban Vidyarthi, spokesperson of Mangal Pandey Vichar Manch, wrote that two executioners were called to hang Pandey in Barrackpore Cantonment in the early hours of April 7, but as soon as they came to know that Pandey was to be crucified, he refused to hang.
The executioners were also affected by Mangal Pandey’s patriotism. After this, when a dilemma was made in front of the British, the executioner was called with Calcutta, but due to his time to come, Pandey could be hanged at the parade ground of Barrackpore on the morning of 8 April.
