Investigation
A judicial commission headed by district judge K. Ramakrishnan investigated the incident. The Commission submitted a report to then chief minister Oommen Chandy in January 2012. Following the report, the state government requested the CBI to investigate the explosives found at the location. The CBI submitted a closure report on 2013, stating they could not establish how the explosives arrived at the location and which people were behind it.The judicial commission report rejected allegations that the police firing is unjustifiable and concluded that it was the police action which prevented a large scale communal riot. The Beemapally Muslim Jama-Ath Action committee rejected the judicial commission report by saying "The Ramakrishnan Commission report has not offered any justice to the victims. In fact, it has portrayed people from the Muslim community in bad light" and demanded strong action against the policemen involved.
