Despite the scale of the operation, Superintendent of Mysuru district police, N. Vishnuvardhan, reported that no narcotic substances were found at the venue or on the attendees. He confirmed that all individuals taken into custody would undergo medical examinations by a team from the Forensic Sciences Laboratory to determine if any drugs had been consumed.

"The results of these medical tests are pending and further action will be based on the findings," Vishnuvardhan explained. He noted that the organisers of the event had not secured the necessary permissions from local authorities and the police station had no prior knowledge of the party.
