Manimaran got admitted to the Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for treatment and filed a complaint, after which the Nungambakkam police registered a case and arrested the professor.

In another incident, the police arrested M Mohan (38) of Maduravoyal for attacking a sub-inspector, Chinnadurai, attached to the Maduravoyal police station, when he stopped the bike rider at a vehicle checkpoint in Maduravoyal.
