Following the incident, her husband released a video through which he appealed to others to feed stray dogs outside the colony. “We also have two pet dogs and we love dogs too. But you can’t just feed strays your leftovers. They will populate here in big numbers. My wife could have died. She is an adult and she was in such a helpless state, what if it was a child in her place?” he asked in a viral clip.

Reacting to the incident, the Manikonda municipality notified their partner organization Blue Cross who arrived at the spot and captured nine stray dogs to get them vaccinated.
