The Karnataka Home Minister also issued a video message saying, "Arson and violence are against the law. Whatever the case is, it has to be resolved within the purview of the law. I have ordered the police to restore peace. No matter how big a person, we will ensure that strict action is taken. Whoever is responsible for this will be punished severely. I assure you that no one will be spared. "
