The Chauri Chaura incident occurred at Chauri Chaurain the Gorakhpur district of the United Province, (modern Uttar Pradesh) in British India on 5 February 1922, when a large group of protesters, participating in the Non-cooperation movement, clashed with police, who opened fire. In retaliation the demonstrators attacked and set fire to a police station, killing all of its occupants. The incident led to the deaths of three civilians and 22 or 23 policemen. Mahatma Gandhi, who was strictly against violence, halted the non co-operation movement on the national level on 12 February 1922, as a direct result of this incident. In his autobiography, Jawaharlal Nehru describes this decision as a set back and extremely demoralizing for workers of Congress who were in jail when Gandhi took this decision.Bhagat Singh protested at the taking back of the non-cooperation movement.
