Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The 1857 rebellion at Kanpur was led by Nana Saheb, the Peshwa Bajirao II's son. Around June 1857, Kanpur saw the beginning of the 1857 uprising. The British East India Company had over 7000 soldiers stationed in Kanpur. Nana Saheb, Peshwa Baji Rao II's adoptive son, was in charge of the uprising. He joined the revolt primarily because the British deprived him of his pension. The insurrection at Kanpur was led by Nana Saheb, along with his administrator Tatya Tope and secretary Azimullah Khan. After fresh defences appeared, the British were able to retake Kanpur.
The correct statement would be that at Kanpur, the Revolt of 1857 was led by Nana Saheb.
