In March 2014, a historical discovery was made where mortal remains of a number of Indian soldiers from the 1857 mutiny were exhumed from a well in Ajnala, near Amritsar, Punjab. These remains were identified based on historical accounts and records as likely belonging to soldiers of the 26th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry. This regiment had mutinied in Lahore on July 30, 1857, and attempted to flee, with many being killed or captured near Amritsar. Historical sources indicated that a large number of these soldiers were executed and their bodies thrown into a well at Ajnala.

Mortal remains of 1857 mutiny soldiers were discovered in a well at Ajnala, Punjab in 2014. These soldiers are believed to be from the 26th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry who mutinied in Lahore.

The event is known as the Ajnala massacre. Following the mutiny at Lahore, around 500 soldiers of the 26th Native Infantry fled. Around 200 of them were apprehended near Ajnala. British officials ordered their execution, and their bodies were disposed of in a well, which came to be known as ‘Kalianwala Khuh’ (the well of the blacks) or ‘Shaheedan da Khuh’ (the well of martyrs). The exhumation and study in 2014 helped confirm the historical accounts.
