Three days before this incident (i.e) on 10th April, people of Punjab started to protest against the arrest of two popular leaders of the freedom movement. These people were fired cheap ink upon by a group of military officials. This firing set off a series of violence around the state. In order bring things under control the British government passed a martial law for Punjab on 13th April 1919, banning the gathering of more than four people.
