Answer:
Soldiers refused to use the newly issued Enfield rifle as they believed that the cartridges, which needed to be bitten to operate the gun, were greased with pork and beef fat. This was against the religious beliefs of both Hindu and Muslim soldiers and they made up a major portion of the army.
Explanation:
Dogs sniffing at the crates containing the cartridges, caused the rumour about the cartridges being greased with beef and pork fat.
