Despite more than two days passing since the event, police have not arrested anyone, prompting anger and anxiety among residents.

Videos of the incident, recorded by onlookers, quickly spread on social media and were widely discussed. Media reports and footage clearly identified many of the participants, yet no visible legal action has been taken. Locals questioned why arrests have not been made even though police admitted to identifying the suspects.
