Bommai also extended his gratitude to Puneeth's family members for their cooperation.

"I thank Shivarajkumar and Raghavendra Rajkumar. Shivaraj Kumar has thanked me for the arrangements. It shows the humility of the Rajkumar family. As a government, in that situation, it is our duty to monitor and manage the situation. We have done it," he said.
