Speaking to Mr. Jawahar Babu over the phone on Saturday (December 28, 2024), State Home Minister Anitha expressed solidarity and promised full government support. “The coalition government takes this incident seriously.

Several suspects have already been detained, and further legal action is under way.
Ms. Anitha also issued a stern warning against unruly behaviour, stating, “We will not hesitate to open rowdy sheets against those engaging in violence and unlawful acts.”
