• Awaiting deadline 50% Administrative Quash

  The Kerala High Court stays the arrest due to lack of immediate evidence linking the contractor to organized diversion, citing procedural lapses by the investigating agency. The contractor is released on bail, and the case is referred for a routine administrative inquiry rather than a criminal investigation.

• Awaiting deadline 30% Criminal Prosecution Proceeds

  The investigating agency submits a charge sheet to the local magistrate within the statutory 60-day window (accelerated for media pressure), confirming the diversion was intentional. The contractor remains in judicial custody, and the temple administration initiates disciplinary proceedings against supervising officials.

• Awaiting deadline 15% Political Cover-Up

  Under pressure from local political factions, the state government reclassifies the incident as a 'weighment error' rather than theft. The contractor is released without charges, and the incident is quietly closed to avoid negative publicity ahead of upcoming local elections.

• Awaiting deadline 5% Rioting and Curfew

  Militant devotee groups, claiming the contractor is a 'traitor' to the faith, attack the police station holding the suspect.
