Reacting to this incident, BJP national president JP Nadda said, "The video from Pratapgarh, Rajasthan is shocking. What is worse is, governance in Rajasthan is totally absent.

"It's no wonder the issue of women’s safety is being completely ignored in the state. Every single day, there is an instance of harassment against women. The people of Rajasthan will teach the state Government a lesson," Nadda said.
A case has been registered against as many as 13 people. According to ADG Crime, nine people have been arrested after the interrogation. The police said that the legs of the three main accused were broken while they were attempting to flee.
