Police have apprehended Madhan and are currently questioning him. According to a senior officer, the attack was motivated by personal reasons, with Madhan's frustration over the rejected marriage proposal being the primary trigger for the crime.

Investigations have revealed that the families of Ramani and Madhan had recently met to discuss a possible marriage. However, Ramani rejected the proposal. Feeling dejected, Madhan reportedly went to the school and attacked her with a sharp weapon.

School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamizhi strongly condemned the incident and directed that students be provided with immediate counseling.

"We strongly condemn the attack on Ramani, a teacher who worked in Mallipattanam Government School, Thanjavur District. Violence against teachers cannot be tolerated. Strict legal action will be taken against the assailant. We express our deepest condolences to the bereaved family, students, and teachers," he said in an online post.
