Further investigative and security measures led to the arrest of all individuals who appeared in the circulated clip. Legal action was taken against them in accordance with applicable laws, and the case has been referred to the competent authorities to complete the required legal procedures.

The Ministry of Interior reiterated its firm commitment to continuously monitor and track any behaviors or practices on social media platforms that violate public morals.
