The case has been highlighted by NCM India Council For Men Affairs, following which the police arrested 3 of the four accused.

Meanwhile, the NCM India Council has highlighted that the Indian Police is not sensitive enough to deal with cases of male sexual assault. It said that sexual assault laws in India are not gender neutral and they only accept a woman as a victim of sexual assault.

The council further highlighted that Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita 2023 will be implemented from July 1, but there is no section in this to give justice to Male victims of sexual assault.
