Newsclip: BG Horniman Editor of Bombay Chronicle deported in 1919 for publishing a report on Jallianwala Bagh massacre

General Michael O’Dwyer, as lieutenant governor of Punjab (1913-1919), held sway with an iron hand and followed a policy of press censorship in the province. In defiance of censorship, The Bombay Chronicle carried a report on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The reporter who wrote the article was tried and sentenced to two years’ rigorous imprisonment and B.G.Horniman, editor of the Bombay Chronicle, was deported from India to Britain for his revelations on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The paper had to suspend its publication.
