For years, the Muslim and progressive thinkers have been demanding compensation to the victims families.The families of the victims would collect the compensation amount at the Chief Ministers office at Krishna in Bengaluru on June 19.The DG and IGP had written to the Chief Secretary of Karnataka to grant the compensation.The BJP government had not just deprived the minorities of the compensation, no representative from the party or the system met the family members and comforted them.

Top BJP leaders of state as well as national queued up before the houses of victims of revenge killings belonging to Hindu religion.Bajrang Dal activist Harsha was killed at the height of hijab crisis and BJP Yuva Morcha activist Praveen Kumar Nettaru was killed to avenge the death of Masood.
