Tantia Tope (Ramchandra Panduranga) was one of the most notable military leaders of the Revolt of 1857, closely associated with Nana Sahib and Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi.
After the main uprising was suppressed, he carried on guerrilla resistance across central India but was eventually betrayed, captured, and tried by the British.
He was executed by hanging on 18 April 1859 at Shivpuri (Sipri).
Hence, Tantia Tope was executed in 1859.
