Sharmishta Panoli apologized and removed the video following a lot of criticism. Because she encouraged animosity between religious groups, authorities lodged a formal complaint against her under parts of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Social media was immediately incensed by the footage, and many people called for her to be arrested under stringent regulations.
Following multiple unsuccessful attempts to serve legal notifications, kolkata Police tracked Ms. Panoli to Gurugram and accused her and her family of purposefully avoiding them. She was arrested on May 31 after the court issued a warrant. She was placed in judicial prison until june 13 after the Alipore court refused to grant her bail.
