The firing incident led to cruel results including several protests by people against the administration across the state along with the Massorie firing incident, which took place on September 2, 1994.  
The Khatima firing incident was followed by the Massorie firing incident the other day in which six people were fired upon by Provincial Armed Constabulary personnel.
