Explanation:

The Chauri Chaura incident occurred at Chauri Chaura in the Gorakhpur district of the United Province, (modern Uttar Pradesh) in British India in 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 several policemen.Mahatma Gandhi who was strictly against violence halted the Non-cooperation Movement on the national level in February 1922 itself, as a direct result of this incident.
