Netizens showed a mixed response to the label’s statement. Some netizens criticized the label for its vague response and claimed that the response was evidence that Ravi was guilty.

- “I think they need to quickly reveal the reason Ravi received his exemption… As time goes by, more people will believe the allegations to be true.”

Previously, Ravi was alleged to have used an illegal service to receive a military exemption. In a bombshell report released by Joy News24, the media outlet reported that “Ravi is embroiled in allegations that he was exempted from serving in active duty service for his mandatory military service through a broker who used illegal methods to get him into public service instead.”
The report stated that the allegations stem from a recent arrest in which former military officials were suspected of helping individuals get an exemption from active duty and instead serve as a public service worker.
Recently, a group of brokers was arrested on charges of assisting high-profile individuals in evading or diminishing the effects of their military service. There were claims that a famous idol rapper was part of the group that the brokers helped receive an exemption from active duty.
