Here is the answer :-
The Jallianwala Bagh incident took place on 13th April.
● A group of villagers had come to Amritsar to attend a fair and had gathered in the enclosed ground of Jallianwala Bagh.

● General Dyer entered the area, closed all the exits and opened fire on the crowd killing hundreds of people.
● His objective was to produce a moral effect to create a feeling of terror in the minds of the Satyagrahis.
● As the news spread, the people took out their anger in the north Indian towns. A series of clashes, protests, attacks, and strikes began.
● The government responded in brutality and humiliated the people.
● The Satyagrahis were forced to rub their noses on the ground and say Salam to the Sahib. Gandhiji eventually called off the movement.
