However, on February 5, 1922, an incident occurred at Chauri Chaura (Gorakhpur district, UP) where a large group of peasants clashed with police, setting fire to a police station and killing several policemen. Mahatma Gandhi, distressed by this violence, called off the movement immediately on February 12, 1922.
