Contested deletion[edit]
This article should not be speedy deleted as being about a subject that was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally and for lack of asserted importance, because this has been reported in all news papers e.g Times of India http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/After-157-years-22-bodies-extricated-from-Shaheedan-da-Khu/articleshow/31183298.cms. It can be physically verified by going there. Please contact me on ranjandwivedi@gmail.com if you have any questions. I'm surprised and disappointed that this affront of deletion popped up.

- While this article does require some copy editing, it should not be deleted as invented material. The death by suffocation or subsequent execution of 282 captured sepoys of the 26th Bengal Native Infantry, who had been confined overnight in a closed space, is recorded in detail by two respected historians of the Great Indian Mutiny: Philip Mason and Surendra Nath Sem. Both note parallels with the better known Black Hole of Calcutta incident of 1756. If it is decided to retain the present article I will be glad to provide source references and additional details.--Buistr (talk) 05:34, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
