why did Gandhiji go to nearby village in champaran? why did he come back without visiting the place?

Gandhi had to go to Motihari because when he began trying to get facts and visited the secretary of the British landlord's association, the secretary told him that he was not at liberty to disclose information to an outsider. Next, Gandhi called on the British official commissioner of the Tirhut division in which Champaran district lay. The commissioner bullied him and advised forthwith to leave Tirhut. Gandhi proceeded to Motihari instead but he could not go far as the police superintendent's messenger overtook him and ordered him to return to town in his carriage. Gandhi complied and the messenger drove him home where he would be served with an official notice to quite Champaran.
