Activist Muneer Katipalla stated, "Dr. Arun Ullal has been charged under sections related to promoting enmity and religious discrimination, which is a welcome move. However, the case has been filed under the IT Section at Mangaluru CEN Police Station, which is inappropriate. The incident did not occur on social media but during a program at Keshava Shishu Mandir in the Kinya village of Ullal Police Station limits. The event was organized by the committee of the school, and leaders like Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, who provided a platform for such speeches, should also be named as accused. Registering the case under the IT Section weakens it and increases the chances of the accused getting away. The Mangaluru Police Commissioner should take note of this and ensure the FIR is strengthened so that those spreading communal hatred do not evade justice.”
