Initially, a week after the incident, the Malpe police registered a suo-moto case and began conducting an inquiry. However, in response to protests and demands for a high-level investigation by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), and Sangh Parivar, the investigating officer was replaced by Kundapur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) Belliyappa.

Now, in the latest development, the state government has transferred the case to the CID for further examination. The CID police team is set to arrive in Udupi on Tuesday and will meet with the Superintendent of Police (SP) and the investigating officer to collect all relevant documents and evidence.
