Upon learning of the incident, the Second Army Region and Suranari Camp Hospital immediately coordinated with provincial authorities to thoroughly investigate all aspects of the case. The army confirmed full readiness to provide supporting information and documents to expedite legal action against those responsible. A detailed database check by Suranari Camp Hospital revealed no records of births matching the alleged cases, confirming the facility had no involvement in the fraud.
