Speaking at a press conference, KTR, the Minister for Information, IT, and Industries, blamed the Congress government's faulty policies for the incident. He stated, 'The current government's lack of attention to public safety measures has led to such unfortunate events. We need stricter laws and better implementation to prevent such incidents in the future.'

The MMTS helpline number has been circulated widely, and passengers are encouraged to use it in case of emergencies. The authorities have assured the public that they are doing everything in their power to bring the assailant to justice and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The incident has once again highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to women's safety, involving not only the government and law enforcement agencies but also the active participation of the community.
