The training had been organised as a part of the 2009  Lok Sabha elections.
A case had been registered against some school teachers who had run into an altercation with the organisers over poor food arrangement at the training. 

It was also alleged that the following year, when the charge sheet was filed in the Court, the names of the additional 100 teachers had been added.

S N Gangadharaiah who received the memorandum assured that the matter would be resolved in consultation with the Mulbagal Tahsildar and Police officers.
