Original sentence: After the sepoys refused to carry out this order, four butchers from the local market went into the Bibi-Ghar where they proceeded to allegedly murder the hostages with cleavers and hatchets.At the nearby town of Fatehpur, a mob had allegedly murdered the local British population.Given that the British were already dying, it defies logic as to why Nana Sahib would offer a safe passage and then order the alleged massacre.The British claim that during the march to the boats, loyal sepoys were removed by the mutineers and lynched along with any British officer or soldier that attempted to help them, although these attacks were ignored in an attempt to reach the boats safely.The Indians claim that the British had already boarded the boats and Tatya Tope raised his right hand to signal their departure.The alleged killing of the women and children proved to be a mistake
