Among those slain was Falla-ulla Khan, a well known native physician.

In Bhojla Pahari, Meah Amin Saheb, a well known scribe, foolishly interposed to prevent soldiers from entering his house. He killed the first English soldier who entered, but was himself immediately bayoneted ; still, he died taking his murderer with him.

Moulvic Furid-u-din was on his way from his morning prayers, when he was met by the advancing column of English and fell in the rush, with which the English burst like a pent up river through the city.

Hakim Ahmed Hossein Khan and Hakim Razi-u-din Khan fell in the same way.
