the 3 Sepoy armies of Indian soldiers had nothing to do with the British government. 

Thety were raised and paid by the East India Company, and worked for them. 

When professional soldiers or sailors disobey orders or rebel, the term for this is a mutiny.The revolt in India that began in 1857 and was started by the East India Company Sepoys is therefore known as The Indian Mutiny in English.
