Locals immediately rushed the other injured women—Tatipalli Sonia (25), Sumalatha (21), Divya Vani, Naramalla Lakshmi, and Anusha—to the Mancherial Government Hospital in an ambulance.

Tatipalli Sonia (25) and Sumalatha (21) succumbed while undergoing treatment, while Anusha was shifted to Warangal for advanced medical care due to her critical condition.
