- Kerala police earlier noted Monalisa stated she was an adult and declined to go with her father, so authorities did not intervene in the marriage.

- Filmmaker Sanoj Mishra and MP Gajendra Patel alleged links to the banned PFI and involvement of Kerala officials, while SP Verma said all aspects are being examined and action will follow evidence.
