The announcement, however, failed to douse the political controversy with the Opposition parties continuing to demand the removal of Minister of State for Home Dibya Shankar Mishra, who is accused of having close links with suspect Gobinda Sahu, promoter of the school.
Though the police announced they would fast-track the investigation, the National and State Commissions for Women have taken cognizance of the incident and asked the police to ensure expeditious and impartial investigation.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
