He constrained the British battalion in Kanpur to surrender, at that point executed the survivors, picking up control of Cawnpore for a couple of days.

Lacking children, Baji Rao embraced Nana Sahib and his more youthful sibling in 1827. The mother of the two kids was a sister of one of the Peshwa's wives. Nana Sahib's youth partners included Tantya Tope, Azimullah Khan and Manikarnika Tambe who later ended up well known as Rani Lakshmibai. Tantya Tope was the child of Pandurang Rao Tope, an essential respectable at the court of the Peshwa Baji Rao II. After Baji Rao II was banished to Bithoor, Pandurang Rao and his family likewise moved there. Tantya Tope was the fencing expert to Nana Sahib.
