According to Navbharat, Home Minister Narottam Mishra expressed his disappointment regarding the incident.
“Whatever may have been the sentiment of the girl, her method was wrong. I have instructed the officials that action should be taken against the girl under the Motor Vehicles Act so that this trend does not increase,” he said.

फ्लैश मॉब का भाव भले ही कुछ हो लेकिन तरीका गलत है।@mohdept @DGP_MP @jdjsindore pic.twitter.com/AgLOVKRhvl
