Krishnadas presented himself at the office of the Irinjalakuda DySP for interrogation, and was later released.

According to rural SP Vijaya Kumar, Krishnadas was given notice to appear before the team for interrogation as part of the investigation.

“Police has released him after interrogation as he is on interim bail. We will give notice to Sanjith Viswanathan, PRO of Pampady Nehru College, to present himself for questioning,” said Vijaya Kumar.
