The protestors were led by the State Secretariat Member of the CPI(M), Maruti Manpade, and the former zilla panchayat member and senior Janata Dal (S) leader, Seethkant Tadkal.

The others who participated in the dharna were Virupakshappa Tadkal of the Karnataka Pranta Raitha Sangha, Sudham Danni of the Karnataka Krishi Koolikarara Sangha and Jayalal Totadamani of the Democratic Youth Federation of India.

The protestors presented a memorandum to the Aland Sub Division Police.
