After the video went viral on social media, BJP leaders targeted the state government over the law and order situation.

Sharing the video, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat tweeted, "Rajasthan's home department has set the goons free and they are roaming in forests like hungry wolves. It is necessary to investigate this video and take strong action against the culprits. But it is meaningless to have expectations from this government. We need to raise our voice!"
