Top BJP leaders including Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis, Ashish Shelar and others strongly condemned the attack and demanded immediate arrest of the culprits involved in the attack. Somaiya, who has been given Z protection, was seen in his vehicle with blood on his jaw and the windows of his car were shattered in the attack.

Fadnavis said Somaiya had expressed apprehension to the Khar police that a large crowd was waiting outside and might attack them, and requested them to remove them. However, the police did not heed his warnings and allowed the attacks to happen even though prohibitory orders were in force in the surrounding areas.
