The sepoys from rode all the way from Meerut and came to Red Fort where Bahadur Shah Zafar lived. Sepoys persisted him to pave the way for mutiny and proclaimed him their leader.

Answer:
The Mughal dynasty had ruled over a large part of the country. Most smaller rulers and chieftains controlled different territories on behalf of the Mughal ruler. Threatened by the expansion of British rule, many of them felt that if the Mughal emperor could rule again, they too would be able to rule their own territories once more, under the Mughal authority.
