The Congress workers were protesting against the registration of false cases against party men in Maur. It also demanded an end to the government move of selling off government properties. As Gora made a scathing attack on the government in his speech,DC Gurkirat Kirpal Singh watched the live feed of the proceedings through CCTV inside his room.

I have asked the SSP to fix responsibility of the officers on security duty, the DC told the media after the protestors left,after handing him over the memorandum. He added that the protestors would be arrested for the act. SSP Sukhchain Singh Gill said he would get the matter inquired as to how the protesters managed to reach the DCs office.
