Buried sepoys in Punjab's Ajnala await historical justice
The remains of 282 soldiers of the 26th Bengal Native Infantry Regiment, who were buried in a well in Punjab's Ajnala Tehsil in 1857 on orders of Amritsar Deputy Commissioner Frederick Henry Cooper, may soon find a place in museum. Historian Surinder Kochhar, who unearthed the skeletons 157 years later, has requested Ajnala SDM to preserve the relics and display them publicly.
