2 residents of Hyderabad, have moved an intervention application in the Supreme Court, seeking the court's consent in allowing them to intervene in an earlier writ petition against Priya Varrier and her wink. 

The applicants argue that "the act of winking is forbidden in Islam" and that when that act if superimposed with a sacred song, it amounts to blasphemy. Related to this, a complaint has been filed at the Jinsi police station in Maharashtra by a group of people under the aegis of Janjagran Samithi.
