Based on the video, the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has also intervened with member V. Kannadasan visiting the academy to conduct an inquiry.

The incident is also under probe by Tirunelveli District Child Protection Unit after a complaint was filed with them, reported ETV Bharat. 

Meanwhile, the academy, known for its rigorous schedule from 8 AM to 8 PM and fees ranging between Rs 60,000 to Rs 80,000, had previously earned a reputation for helping students secure admissions to government medical colleges, as per a report on South First. However, this recent incident has raised concerns about the methods employed by the institution.
