Question

How many sepoys refused to use the cartridges ?

Answer 1

• Thus, out of the 90 sepoys, 85 troops refused to use them.

Answer 2

Around 85 sepoys refused to use the cartridges and were executed by the British, which led to the sepoy mutiny, also known as the Blue rebellion.

The sepoy mutiny broke out in the year 1857 for many grievances, but the main trigger was the rumour that the cartidges were oiled with pig and cow fat.
