After the incident ignited public fury, the school management conducted an internal inquiry confirming the incident. The administration hence provided counseling to the students involved and also suspended all the six students for misconduct.

Chief Educational Officer M Sivakumar said that he could conduct an investigation to ascertain how the students procured liquor and who supplied the alcohol to the students.
