Ram Baksh Singh
Raja Rao Ram Baksh Singh was a Bais Rajput Raja Rao of Daundia Khera in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh in the then Oudh province that was a vassal state of the British East India Company. He was one of the leaders of the Sepoy Mutiny, and a close associate of Nana Sahib. He was hanged by the British on 28 December 1857 for taking part in the revolt and being found guilty of the killing of British soldiers. In 1992, the Government of India built a memorial at the place where he was hanged to honor  his death. The dilapidated remains of his fort - consisting of the ruins of his royal mansion, a huge campus spread over hundreds of acres, a temple to Shiva which has been in use for more than 180 years, and various other structures - have been in the news recently due to an urban legend of gold treasure buried there.
