In addition, the workers were also warned not to work on the farm.  

It is alleged that upset over these circumstances, 70-year-old Pandappa Lamani, 72-year-old Guruchappa Lamani, 65-year-old Gangwa Kabur and 41-year-old Hanumanthappa took the step of killing themselves by consuming poison in their farm. All of them were then admitted to the hospital. The SP of Haveri said that the police had received a tip-off that 4 persons consumed poison, after which, they were immediately admitted to the hospital.
