In the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the person who betrayed Siraj-ud-Daula was option 3, Mir Jaffar. Mir Jaffar was the commander-in-chief of Siraj-ud-Daula`s army but conspired with the British East India Company to overthrow him. This betrayal played a significant role in the British victory in the battle and led to the establishment of British colonial rule in Bengal. Mir Jaffar was promised the position of Nawab of Bengal by the British in exchange for his betrayal. This event not only marked a turning point in Indian history but also highlighted the political maneuvering and division among Indian rulers as they struggled to resist British colonization.
