Following the incident, Section 144 (prohibit the gathering of four or more people in an area) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) was imposed in the Alappuzha district to prevent any untoward incident.
Radhakrishnan went to the Central Administrative Tribunal and later the Supreme Court to fight against the suspension order. Even after his suspension was revoked, he had to file a contempt of court case to finally make the Kerala government reinstate him.
