In August 1913, in the Kanpur Mosque incident, the number of deaths accepted as official among the Muslims was 133. The problem began when the British government demolished the Machhli Bazaar Mosque, also known as the Kanpur Mosque, to accommodate a widened road. This led to a massive protest on August 3, 1913, as an unarmed group of people attempted to save the destroyed structure. The police were ordered to open fire on the protesters by the local magistrate, leading to a substantial number of deaths.
