For many reasons, the Company Government considered Bihar an important administrative region. In Rohini village of the Deoghar Sub-Division (under the Santhal Pargana district), there was the headquarters of a company of the 5th Irregular Cavalry (5th temporary cavalry force). On 12 June, 1857, this unit was the first to openly revolt. The revolt took place in Patna on 3 July, 1857. After the arrest of Waris Ali (23 June, 1857), the revolt broke out in Muzaffarpur in the first week of July, 1857, and in the last week of July, 1857, Kunwar Singh revolted at Arrah (Jagdishpur).
