Right after the incident, police detained Sharmila Yeole and later released her. Police sources also said that Sharmila would not be charged with any hard law and thus no action would be taken on her. The local police sources also said that Yeole, was unhappy with the alleged BJP led government's policies on farmers as farmers distress are on high in the state.
