hEyA here u go....
if u r talking about the chauri chaura incident.... then following is the detailed explanation about it......
During the ‘Non-cooperation Movement,’ a group of protestors marched into the Chauri Chaura market on February 2, 1922, in order to protest against high and unusual meat prices. But their protest was interrupted by local police officers, and they arrested the leaders. They also used force on the protestors thereby injuring many in the process. This instigated the protestors, and they returned on February 5. On that fateful day, a group of 2,000 to 2,500 protesters marched towards Chauri Chaura market, where they chose to picket a liquor shop as part of their protest. As expected, the police once again turned up and arrested one of their leaders. This enraged the protestors and a part of them marched towards the Chauri Chaura police station, where their leaders were locked up. The gathered crowd started shouting slogans, urging their release. In order to get the situation under control, police officials fired a couple of warning shots in air, which agitated the protestors further. As a result, they started pelting stones on the cops, which, in turn, forced the sub-inspector in charge to order his fellow officers to open fire.
Despite killing three and wounding many, the police was unable to stop the advancing crowd, which had now lost all rationality upon seeing the death of three. Seeking vengeance for the loss of lives, the protestors continued to intimidate the police by advancing towards them until the seriously outnumbered police were forced to retreat by holing up in the Chauri Chaura police station. This strategy worked against them as the angry mob had no hesitation in torching the police station with its occupants inside. Trapped inside the fiercely burning Chauri Chaura police station were a number of Indian policemen and official messengers known as ‘chaprassis.’ It was later reported that the incident had claimed the lives of 22 policemen and that many were killed at the entrance of the station while they were trying to escape the fire. According to a few reports, 23 policemen were killed in the incident as one of them lost his life later in the nearby hospital. The incident spread like wildfire and the British were obviously infuriated, though many Indians thought of it as an act of heroism and daredevilry. However, not all Indians were amused. In fact, some were extremely disappointed with the inhuman act and among them was Mahatma Gandhi, who straight away denounced the incident calling it cowardice. To the disbelief of many, Gandhiji cancelled the Non-Cooperation Movement as a result of the Chauri Chaura Incident.
