The students pleaded with the police, promising to pay double the price of the items and assured that they would not engage in such activities again. However, the police did not accept their offer. The police made it clear that the regulations must be followed and that the arrested individuals had to be presented in court. Subsequently, the women were handcuffed and taken away.
