She was injured and immediately rushed to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGH) in the High Court ambulance.

The Neelankarai police in Chennai had secured the minor girl from Andaman islands and produced her before a Division Bench of Justices M.S. Ramesh and V. Lakshminarayanan initially on August 8, 2025 following a habeas corpus petition (HCP) filed by her biological father who had divorced her mother.
