Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The Revolt of 1857 started as a sepoy mutiny, and many others from different parts joined it. The Indians were frustrated with the various policies and decisions of British Rule. But, the main issue was regarding the cartridge used in the new arms. The sepoys needed to remove the new cartridges greased with cow and pig fat during the firing process by mouth. It hurt the religious sentiments of both Hindus and Muslim sepoys. So, they refused to use it, which led to the revolt in 1857 that spread across the country, turning into a popular rebellion. Nana Saheb assembled an army and drove the British troops out of the city. Along with Meerut, Kanpur, Lucknow, and Delhi also witnessed the revolt and became a popular rebellion.
