The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, was also known as Amritsar massacre, took place in 1919 on 13th April. On the day the people were on mass agitation against the policies of the British Government, the Rowlett Act. Acting Brigadier Dyer and his troops entered the garden, blocking the main entrance behind them, took up position on a raised bank, and with no warning 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. Because of continuous firing more than 370 people had died and over 1200 injured according to British Government Report. Even on the following day Dyer stated in a report that "I have heard that between 200 and 300 of the crowd were killed. My party fired 1,650 rounds."
