Answer:

The Company Fights Back

Counterattack: The Company decided to suppress the revolt with all its might. Reinforcements were brought in from England. New laws were passed to make it easy to convict the rebels. The Company then moved forces into the storm centres of revolt. Delhi was recaptured from the rebel forces in September 1857.

Arrest of The Last Mughal Emperor: Bahadur Shah Zafar was arrested. He was tried in a court and sentenced to life imprisonment. His sons were shot dead before his eyes. He was sent to prison in Rangoon; along with his wife Begum Zinat Mahal; in October 1858. The last Mughal Emperor died in the Rangoon jail in November 1862.
