Sayed-Khaiyum was accompanied by the Minister for Employment, Parveen Bala, Minister for Agriculture, Dr Mahendra Reddy, Minister for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport, Faiyaz Koya, Assistant Minister, Vijay Nath, Assistant Minister Jale Sigarara and Deputy Commissioner of Police, Itendra Nair.

Police investigation continue into the alleged case of sacrilege at the temple.
