Saying that he will give an explanation for the notice served to him by the Nellore district Joint Collector, Anandaiah claimed that he is distributing the medicine for free of cost, he sought the intervention of the Andhra Pradesh government in this matter for the smooth distribution of the medicine.

Things turned ugly in Krishnapatnam when the villagers who were concerned about the virus spreading with people reaching the village from other places for the medicine asked the practitioner if he had got the required permission or not. Tension gripped the village with the heated arguments between Anandaiah and the villagers in Krishnapatnam.
