Lors de la révolte des Cipayes, il dirige des régiments mais est défait par le général Henry Havelock. Il fuit alors au Népal avec son frère (1859) mais, capturé, est pendu à Kanpur[1].

Jules Verne en fait un personnage sous le nom de Balao Rao dans son roman La Maison à vapeur (partie 1, chapitre 1)[2].
