Hope it helps !!!
a. On 10th April 1919, fire was opened by the police
in Amritsar on a peaceful procession and Martial
law was imposed.
b. On 13th April 1919, huge crowd had gathered in the Jallianwalla Bagh. The crowd had two different
objectives. Some of them gathered to protest
the new repressive measures of the government
whereas others gathered to attend the annual
Baisakhi fair. Those who came from outside city
were not aware of the* martial law. General Dyer
entered in the ground, closed the exit points and
opened fire in which hundreds of innocent people
were killed. This was basically done to create a
feeling of terror in the minds of Satyagrahis.
c. This infamous incident resulted in strikes, clashes
with the police and the government buildings were
attacked. This reaction of Indians was brutally
suppressed by the government as the Satyagrahis
were forced to rub their nose on the ground, crawl
on streets and do salute to all the Sahibs. People
were beaten up and villages were bombed.
