The authorities instructed Vinod to stay away from station duties. Four officers including Anish were transferred in the incident.

Vishnu, who is a soldier and a native of Kilikollur and his brother Vignesh were beaten up. Four people were arrested with MDMA at Kilikollur station. In order to bail one of them, a police officer called Vignesh, a local DYFI leader, to the station.

In addition to this, a press release was issued stating that the brothers had attacked the police officers for the accused in drug case. They had to stay in jail for twelve days. Vishnu’s marriage was also called off following this. He came to hometown on leave for his marriage.
