According to an official report, his troops killed 379 unarmed Indian men, women, and children and wounded some 1,200. As a result, Dyer was removed from command into enforced retirement. The matter received international attention, and Indian nationalists turned the site into a martyrs' memorial. On 13 April 1919, people gathered at Jallianwala Bagh (Amritsar) to protest against the arrest of the two nationalist leaders, Satya Pal and Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew. Suddenly, a British military officer, General Dyer, entered the park with his troops. As violence swept through the country, Gandhi–to the amazement of many–ordered the mobs to return to their homes, and called off his campaign. If satyagraha could not be carried out without violence, he declared, it would not be carried out at all. While Dwyer was shot dead by Indian revolutionary Udham Singh in London's Caxton Hall on March 13, 1940, Dyer died of cerebral haemorrhage and arteriosclerosis in 1927
