This is how law enforcement should work - immediate response and proper legal follow-up. Hope this sets an example for other states too.

While I appreciate the police action, I wish they were more proactive in preventing such incidents rather than just reacting. Better crowd management and visible police presence could deter such behavior.

Positive to see the judicial process being followed properly with both police and judicial remands. This ensures proper investigation while respecting legal procedures.
