Inspired by the Non-Cooperation Movement, thousands of workers left the plantations to go back to their homes. The journey of the workers was disrupted due and they were police caught by the police and beaten up. The plantation workers had ascribed their own meaning to Swaraj different from that of the Congress. They felt that Swaraj marked an era when their sufferings would end.

The agitated protestors retaliated in a violent manner and began attacking the police from all sides. The policemen got threatened by thousands of people and they locked themselves up in the police station. To avenge the death of the protestors, the frantic crowd set the Police station on fire.
