Claim: Nawab Ali Bahadur of Band performed the last rites of Rani Lakshmi Bai.
Fact-check: There is no evidence to suggest that Nawab Ali Bahadur performed the last rites of Rani Lakshmi Bai. - FACTLY
Verdict: there are a couple of versions regarding rani lakshmi bai's death. one is that she was shot dead by the british army near phool bagh of gwalior. in another version, she after being severely injured and not wanting the british to capture her body, asked a hermit to burn it. neither version claims that nawab ali bahadur has performed her last rites and further there is no evidence to support this claim. however, there are reports of nawab ali bahadur of banda helping lakshmi bai in fighting the british. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
