Which violent event resulted in the suspension of the Non-Cooperation movement by Mahatma Gandhi?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Chauri Chaura episode
On 5 February 1922, at Chauri Chaura in the Gorakhpur district of the United Provinces, a procession of volunteers clashed with the police and set fire to the police station, killing twenty-two policemen.
Gandhiji, holding that the country was not yet ready for a non-violent struggle, called off the Non-Cooperation Movement on 12 February 1922. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919 and the Rowlatt Act were among the causes that led to the movement, not to its suspension.
