Soon the police were reported about the event and they reached the village and asked the crowd to disperse as hundreds were at the risk of contracting the Covid-19 infection. The police also took the organisers of the event to Thiruvennainallur police station.
The police let go the organisers with a warning after a written apology. However, when the group was returning to their village, they were issued a notice to attend a panchayat court on May 14.
When the community leaders attended the panchayat court, they were ordered to fall on the feet of the village panchayat for conducting the festival without its permission. Thirumal, Santhanam and Arumugam obeyed the verdict and fell on the feet of the members of the panchayat and apologised.
