The Jallianwalla Bagh is a public garden of 6 to 7 acres (2.8 ha), walled on all sides, with five entrances.[2]

On Sunday, 13 April 1919, Dyer was convinced of a major insurrection and he banned all meetings; however this notice was not widely disseminated. This was the day of Baisakhi, an important Sikh festival, and many villagers had gathered in the Bagh to celebrate. On hearing that a meeting had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh, Dyer went with troops from the British Indian Army.[3] Dyer and his troops entered the garden, blocking the main entrance behind them, took up position on a raised bank, and on Dyer's orders opened fire on the crowd for about ten minutes, directing their bullets largely towards the few open gates through which people were trying to flee, until the ammunition supply was almost exhausted. The following day Dyer stated in a Report to the General Officer Commanding that “I hear that between 200 and 300 of the crowd were killed. My party fired 1,650 rounds.”,[4] a number apparently derived by counting empty cartridge cases picked up by the troops afterwards.[5] The Hunter Commission report on the incident, published the following year by the Government of India, criticised both Dyer, and the Government of the Punjab for failing to compile a casualty count, so quoted a figure offered by the Sewa Samati (A Social Services Society) of 379 identified dead,[6] with approximately 1,100 wounded, of which 192 were seriously injured.[7][8] The casualty number estimated by the Indian National Congress was more than 1,500 injured, with approximately 1,000 dead.

This "brutality stunned the entire nation",[9] resulting in a "wrenching loss of faith" of the general Indian public in the intentions of the UK.[10] The ineffective inquiry, together with the initial accolades for Dyer by the House of Lords, fuelled great widespread anger against the British among the Indian populace, later leading to the Non-cooperation Movement of 1920–22
